Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

In under 1600 words.

No one can’t explain to me how a third party would work given that the entire reason we have two parties is the Executive Branch being held by one person.

Plus all the other stuff like infrastructure and winning smaller, local elections first. Never really addressed.
There’s a two party duopoly in this nation.

Is it great? No! Is it reality? Yes.

Creating a third party means building up an entirely new infrastructure from scratch and then fighting both R & D.

Taking over the Dem Party is an easier and more effective route. It’ll take time, but it’s worth it.

Also, there is nothing stopping you from doing both. The DSA works very hard to reform the Democrats while also building their own party to relevance.

Florida has a fairly well documented problem with young people leaving the state after they grow up but I guess one way you can ameliorate them is kill them before they can leave on their own
FL is moving forward w/ plan to end all childhood vaccine mandates. Starting with hepatitis B, chickenpox, and the bacteria causing meningitis and pneumonia. Then next year GOP FL legislature is expected to revisit 1977 law re: whooping cough, measles, polio, rubella, mumps, diphtheria, and tetanus.
