The election to fill a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat has become a referendum not only on the new administration, but on Elon Musk, the billionaire who has become one of President Donald Trump ‘s top financial backers and the architect of his efforts to slash the federal workforce.
It blows me away that we’re still seeing “both sides” arguments even after the last two months.
Have liberals failed to help us? Yes. Have conservatives failed to help us? No; they can’t fail at something they never attempted to do.
Both sides are not the same.
But if you want to argue that the two party system has failed, we can certainly agree there. The two party system is an organic result of first past the post voting. The good news is that voting is determined at the local level, where it’s easier to get progressives who are willing to move away from FPTP into office. We’re not going to vote away fascism, but voting reform absolutely needs to be one of the many strategies employed against fascists.
(Note: I switched to"liberals" and “conservatives” because your source spans multiple eras with different political parties, including when Democrats and Republicans switched after Republicans adopted the Southern Strategy. Interestingly, the modern Democratic party (post-Southern Strategy) has only held a unified government a mere 5 times)
