Zero Hour in America

[Arkbrik]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but are extremist movements more popular in multiple-party systems than two-party systems?

I'd say so. As of now basically every country in Europe has some extreme-right-wingers in their parliaments. If the American system was reformed the teabaggers might form their own party and get some seats... and if neither other party has a majority they'll be controlling any decision the other parties can't reach an agreement on. Which is basically the situation in Sweden right now

Usually the other parties make alliances and refuse to ally (I doubt this is the right word, but eh) with the extreme parties, so they're usually kept relatively small or at least relatively powerless, until the voters think 'fuck it this is useless' and join a less extreme (but still pretty bad) right wing party, often allowing this to become a big party in the end. That's what happened here. Democracy at it's best.

I kind of wish old people would die faster, and now that I'm getting old I'm starting to think of myself as acceptable collateral damage.

PM me your mailing address.

There's no way this could go wrong.

Yes. And you can't use cannabis in public in Washington. You would get a ticket, just like if you consumed alcohol on the bus.
