House Democrats united around the principles of destroying our election system once and for all.
If HR 1 becomes law, we will essentially be a one-party country.

With any luck, the GQP will have screwed itself out of office due to changing demographics, & the fact that a large chunk of its base is old as rocks. Involving gibbering idiots like this Plague Rat isn’t doing them any favors.
In a sense, the United States are one-party already, or rather one-government-philosophy. Democratic overtures towards anything that doesn’t overwhelming favor corporates and their investors beyond all else tend to run afoul of right-wing members like Manchin, who every now and then threaten to join the Republicans. This is pretty effective at quailing the Democratic party, it turns out. And they’re already rightward enough as-is that those like Ocasio-Córtez, even with their grudging acceptance of military intervention in places like Syria, still get lashed by them.
The nation will likely still be capitalist either way, so I’m not sure what foundation the complaint has.
Oh noes, if our hopelessly antiquated and manipulable election system is made at least somewhat more robust, our strategy of focussing entirely on catering exclusively to large but increasingly less dominant demographics kept loyal through fearmongering and on gaming the system to give said demographics disproportional political power will collapse!
She pretends like it hasn't been the GOP endgame since President Black Guy was a thing, all to make sure President Black Guy 2: The Re-Melanining doesn't happen. She's just pissy that it's not her party taking the oligarchy. Her side stacks the deck so that only they benefit, only they get power, and only so they can have it, never so they can do anything with it, then bitches and whines about the other side trying to balance shit out. Fuck this gaslighting bitch.
Compared to the... 'alternative' Buboe really wants: which is what the US has had the last four years, @kuyohashi says it best.
...and perhaps with hindsight @Skyknight , I should have worded it as 'Denying Trumpists like Buboe here of any political power is what turns me on'.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
