As is already well known for most, USA only has 2 right wing parties, Democrats that are "normal" right wing. and Republicans that are extreme right wing, and has gone more and more insane over the past few decades.
There can be no doubt among normal reasonable people, that the wealth of the richest people in USA is insane now, and needs to be reigned in.
Of course an annual federal tax to achieve this would be preferable, but since that obviously isn't happening anytime soon, it is up to the states. No one needs to have $1 billion, no one even needs a tenth of that.
The rich are so sociopathic they believe they are entitled to this, and then they call people working 2 jobs entitled for wanting a living wage and healthcare!
It's disgusting that this has become normalized, it is not normal! It is sociopathic, and only a sociopathic society would allow this, and at the same time have extreme poverty. This is not about making an efficient economy, it's 100% about the sick entitlement of the rich.
i would say UNIPARTY, they are both right wing, and often collude with each other to prevent any actual candidate from other side from turning agains the status quo. its basically like putin"s "opposition party/ opponent whom he allows from time to time.
