TO BE CLEAR: the side you choose isn't left or right! Do you support the oligarchy or do you support workers? THAT is the choice you must make. If you not a billionaire, it should be an easy decision!

The Democrats began the oligarchy. Why do you think a very large majority of all the billionaires in the US funded the DEMOCRATS and actively supported their electoral campaign?
The Democratic Party has been in existence longer & the Republican Party started as a progressive liberal party that was later co-opted by oligarchs. I just want both parties doing evil to be rendered irrelevant.
Agreed, both the Democrat and Republican administrations in the past 100 years have contributed to the transformation of the US government into an unelected bureaucratic regime.
Since the electoral system doesn't allow for third parties, you need to compromise; GOP is the lesser of two evils.
Republicans aren't the lesser of two evils, they are the demise of our democracy & republic (that's bad). Our system does allow for third parties but the system has been rigged by the duopoly to make election difficult for alt candidates. Our system is fixable if we keep duopoly out of the process.
No it's mathematically inevitable that there will be a 2 party system with FPTP.
A proportional voting system would need to be implemented to get around this fact, but neither party has it in their interest to do so (plus it would be unconstitutional).
The Republican Party was a third party upstart. Our system favors a two party model but a third party can rise up and supplant one of the primary parties.
