Ever hear that liberalism is the moderate wing of facism? Today’s Democrat Party is now the party of and Cheney. Look up ratchet effect. Every election it just gets more right wing. Mostly because the Democrats have the same bribers as Republicans and the Democrats have no actual left to compete with to balance that pull to the right from Republicans.

Here is a 2nd thought video on how the US ended up with two right wing parties.

The benifet is tearing down the facade that we have a democracy and forcing the establishment to acknowledge 3rd parties (including in debates by default, matching public funds, news articles showing the significance) , as well as popularizing 3rd parties and getting 3rd parties elected in local representation.

As former DNC operative and current DNC media wonk Lawrence O’Donnell said "We didn’t have to listen to ANYTHING on the left…if you want to move the party to the way you are thinking you MUST show that you are capable of not voting for them."

Remember how big a deal those “non committed” votes were in the Primary? How much they made a stink of Jill Stein’s votes in 2016? That’s what hurts the empire. Because it is run on “consent”, enough votes not consenting to the system to the point they can’t ignore / fudge with is extremely significant.
