That has never worked . Since the end of the civil war .
What other option is there? The greed, corruption and depravity is off the fucking charts.

Its that or take up arms.

What do you think data centers are all about? Baking the perfect peanutbutter cookie or keeping track of everything you do, every dollar you spend, everywhere you go, everyone you see, every word you say and potentially every thought you think.

If you dont submit, the Arab boogieman will get you.

The US does have more than two parties, but none of them can compete so for all intents and purposes it is just the two. They have a green party and a communist party and so on and so forth also.

The world is on a collision course to unavoidable conflict , and we in the west are tying our own hands and will pay for the mistake . Yet despite overwhelming odds western values will prevail . The enviroment demands it .

Yet where was the Republican Party in 1850 and again in 1870 ? and know I haven’t researched.

In 1850, the Republican Party did not exist; it was founded four years later in March 1854 in Ripon, Wisconsin. By 1870, during the Reconstruction era, the Republican Party was the ruling political party in the United States, controlling the presidency (under Ulysses S. Grant) and majorities in Congress while pushing for civil rights and the integration of the South.

The United States has more than two political parties legally and in terms of registration, though it operates as a de facto two-party system at the federal level. There are dozens of smaller or "third" parties across the country—with over 55 distinct ballot-qualified political parties registered in various states as of May 2026, including the Libertarian Party, Green Party, Constitution Party, and others.

Despite the existence of multiple parties, the federal government (Congress and the presidency) is dominated almost exclusively by the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. No third-party candidate has won a U.S. presidential election since the mid-19th century, largely due to the nation's single-member district, "winner-take-all" (or first-past-the-post) electoral system, which mathematically disadvantages smaller political movements (a concept known as Duverger's Law).
