      I mean we very obviously do. We have two corporate oligarch parties, but I would much rather have the tech billionaire club that brought us the Gates foundation or the Allen institute and isn’t actively trying to kill a large portion of the country than the one that sees what Israel is doing to Palestine as a good model of how to clean up the riffraff

        No. We have a viable party that chases billionaires with credibility behind it, and the Democratic Party that chases billionaires while pretending that they are for working people, and kills their own viability because they have no credibility with either group.

        As long as they chase billionaires, Democrats are not a viable second party. From a functional standpoint, we have only one party.

          Does viable have a different definition for you that doesn’t include winning roughly half of elections?
