        two parties do not constitute a political whole.

        having only two parties in a democracy is a sign of weakness and sickness in the political system.

        political parties representing people are not “fractures”.

          I never said they do. I just don’t think this is the time to overhaul the whole system when the first priority should be to steady the ship. You can’t fix things if you’re just struggling to stay afloat. Fixing things requires a certain level of stability.

            “I just don’t think this is the time to overhaul the whole system”

            how do you contend encouraging political stability overhauling the system?

            "the first priority should be to steady the ship.

            steadying the ship is literally what this protest is about, providing stability while the executive branch is trying to conquer and invalidate the judicial and legislative.branches.

            “You can’t fix things if you’re just struggling to stay afloat.”

            yes you can. That’s what SOS calls, bilge pumps, pontoons, tar, patches and welds are for, to fix problens on boats.

            you’re advocating to give up and sink when you can repair things.

            ridiculous.

            “Fixing things requires a certain level of stability.”

            the necessary level of stability is far below what you clearly misunderstand.

            We have that stability, what we need is political, legal and judicial actions liked the ones happening every day now fighting against the executive branch.

            The literal nationwide protests by tens of thousands of citizens, judges, politicians and lawyers constitute that saving grace.

                this article is literally about Bernie Sanders and AOC, the exact opposite force of trump.

                you have the paragons you desire and insist you won’t support because of the color of their shirts.

                too many Americans are such laxy defeatists.

                    you being ignorant of the concepts behind the buzzwords you are blindly repeating reflects poorly on your own lack of understanding, not that of others.

                haha, great example.

                “Sadly, there’s nothing we can do. Our training, available equipment, medications and infrastructure are only for stable patients.”
