    The hilarious(ly depressing) thing is that you could be talking about almost any democracy in the world right now. It’s most famously true in America, but it’s also true here where I live in Australia, it’s true for the UK, we’re increasingly seeing it across mainland Europe.

      Yeah it’s a god damn mess. I wonder if the effect has been as crippling to the democratic process in countries where they don’t have systems completely dominated by 2 major parties. Doesn’t leave a lot of room for nuance.
