Well technically there are different groups but really in the US there are kind of really only the two.

This is because of how us elections work where splitting tickets to more than 3 people running tends to hurt the most popular side. It's not like parliaments where they build a coalition after people vote.

So if you look at the US senate you have almost all rep or dem and then 1 or 2 independent.

Also looking at voters you do have like the green party but that's not really a thing when talking about presidential or congressional political. Those groups are really just spoiler candidates. You also have independents, not registered for any of them, but that just means they don't get to vote in most primaries, and really then vote Dem or rep.

There has been a move in some areas to move to ranked choice voting. Alaska and Maine have both done this. If this happens nationally it will have a huge boost for those other spoiler parties and likely make a more functional democracy.

Ah ok. Blue is Dems and red is repubs.

Again as many have pointed out it's pretty normal for the super rich to give to both parties only a lot of time they hide the money given to one party.

The US has a dark money issue because of scotus.

Traditions republicans are conservative and Dems are liberals.

That's however changed and we see if it changes back. Dems are still mostly liberals, and likely have become more liberal during said change. The republicans however have really become not conservative any longer. The best descriptor of them now would be anti-liberal.

They don't really put out platforms any longer. By and large their main function is to oppose whatever it is the democrats are trying to do or support.

It's pretty simple. Hiring exploded over the pandemic and now they are pulling back.

Microsoft is laying off 10k, which is horrible for those people, but they are still up 20k.

I think actually that's the main problem. Activisions board and shareholders getting involved.

I just want kotick gone, which is why I really want the ms to happen.
