Well, those 2 parties have had a stranglehold on our entire lawmaking infrastructure since anybody currently alive was born. They've had a loooooong time to implement election rules and campaign finance laws that only benefit themselves at the expense of those smaller parties.

Sadly, being humans, violence inevitably is proposed at some point.

Cornered rat engages in uncivil conduct, news at eleven.

I don’t condone violence, but Martin Luther King Jr. made a salient point, “A riot is the voice of the unheard.”

There's a real argument that MLK's movement was a failure thanks to its refusal to engage in civil defense. Getting chewed on by an attack dog on the Montgomery Bridge wins you some sympathy points on the national stage. But, in the end, the Walter Gadsdens of the 1960s were replaced by the Sandra Blands of the 2010s. Police moved the violence from the streets to the prison cells and the liberal voter base lost sight of the problem.

What can men do against such reckless hate?

The grand experiment that was America is crumbling before our eyes

The illusion that we fashioned in the 70s and 80s is, perhaps, fading. The story we were all told in grade school about America being this beacon of liberty, this shining city on a hill, is wearing thin. But the America we're left with isn't that different from the America we started with when the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 60s kicked into high gear.

The Reagan-Era papered it over so long as a big portion of the whiter population could live fat, happy lives in the suburbs. Now the suburbs are failing and white professionals are no longer this privileged segregated class. We're being forced to live in the same shit as everyone else, while some asshole bureaucrats in DC and on Wall Street hold up a big Line Goes Up graph and demand that we clap.

I am unsure if we as Americans can make things better without it getting worse first

I think, one way or another, the brutal authoritarian state we've constructed to oppress dissent is going to have to break. Maybe it'll break from too many white nationalists tearing it apart from the inside. Maybe it'll break when too many angry proletarian Millennials and Zoomers tear it apart from the outside. Maybe it'll hold and things will continue to get worse.

But somethings got to give if you want change.

It was a lot of stuff. I'm still mad about it. Of the top of my head: they very quickly got rid of polling locations in places he was polling high in multiple states after they realized he was doing well and people were standing in line to vote for over 8 hours, they lied about stupid shit like the fake chair throwing thing they made up to make it sound like anyone on his side were violent, they ignored the caucus rules in Nevada where he clearly won based on video at the time, there was more, but it's been a long time and this are just a few examples that cross my mind on occasion

There have been a handful of times where I wish I had just written it down because I see the "I never saw/ heard about this" line often enough.

The DNC admitted collision in court, what else do you need lol

The linked article fails to even make any concrete allegations. It simply refers to Donna Brazile's book.

Also does not contain any concrete allegations regarding election fraud.

Is your precious "stabbed in the back"narrative so much more important to you than engaging with reality?
