Then you've gone too far to the left and lost perspective on the center.

Or in other words, they compromise to form coalitions with people who mostly agree, so that have a better chance of winning and seeing most of their goals achieved.

This is what progressives don't seem to understand, which is why they never get anything done and will never win.

You're talking like I'm not actually a fan of Biden. I am. The problem with West is his ticket is literally being paid for by the right. So yes, in this case, he is very much a spoiler candidate.

...and that that largest third party with a candidate for election is fully bankrolled by the GOP.

This post refers to neither money nor business. I think you may be lost?

No that's totally fair, but that term is just misused as it applies to something very specific which deserves to be remembered and recognized as it's own unique threat. I think the closest thing to what you might be referring is aligned to a faux democracy of Russia, which is just a form of an autocracy.

I'll give you that one.

I just use a screen filter on my desktop and phone about 2hrs before sleep and it makes a tremendous difference. I don't know of the alleged benefits outside of sleep, but I do know it clearly helps with that.

I agree with this, but can we stop referring to every rigged democratic system and autocratic government as a Banana Republic?

It just makes people posting look less knowledgeable about government and politics because it's meaning is tied to something very specific that doesn't apply to your overall well thought out comment.

Thailand is not an example of a Banana Republic and neither is the US, nor could it ever be, as it's not a country tied to very limited export of natural resources.
