I am fully convinced that Biden only defeated Voldemort because of how badly Voldemort fumbled the COVID-19 pandemic reaction by the US government. I like Bernie but I voted for Amy Klobuchar ( not because she is from my home state) and then support Biden as the best chance (well-confirmed) of cleansing the White House of the Orange Menace (Voldemort POTUS 45), which was all I really cared about in 2020.īernie would never have beaten Voldemort (despite all the woke Monday-morning quarterbacking) simply because this video ( Bernie saying he’s a Socialist) would have played 24/7 in the lead up to the election*. I just said, why would they support an insurgent, non-member, who was trying to coopt their “means of production” for his own ends? I had some friends, more liberal than I, who were very angry with the DNC for not supporting Bernie and for actively supporting their internal candidates. The Dem party rules allow for an independent to try to gain their nomination. The parties make the rules for their nominating processes. Of course you’ll want to know where you fall, too, so comment below and we’ll put a quiz here showing where readers fall.īernie Sanders is not, and never has been, a member of the Democratic Party. Still, I don’t know what this means, what I’m supposed to do about it, or how I can use my slot to revitalize America. I guess I can’t be unhappy with that, as I’m on the liberal side of both economics and social attitudes. Based on data from the Democracy Fund’s VOTER survey, this party would be the best fit for about 26 percent of the electorate. Its potential leaders include Pete Buttigieg, Cory Booker, Eric Garcetti and Beto O’Rourke. Members are cosmopolitan in their social and racial views but more pro-business and more likely to see the wealthy as innovators. The New Liberal Party is the professional-class establishment wing of the Democratic Party. (I didn’t remember my answers to the first round.) I took the quiz twice independently several hours apart, and both times fell into the same party. Here’s the first of 20 questions many of them are about race: If you want to skip the quiz and read about these imagined parties, just go here. At the end it will slot you into one of the six parties and tell you a bit about it. Click on the screenshot below to take the 20-question quiz. Which one would you belong to given your social and political views. We’ll have the Christian Conservative Party, the Patriot Party, the American Labor Party, the Growth and Opportunity Party, the New Liberal Party, and the Progressive Party.

The description of how to get to such a system is below. It is not so hard to imagine a six-party system - and it would not even require a constitutional amendment. But there is an alternative: more parties. There is no reasonable or timely way to fix this broken system. Democrats and Republicans are locked in an increasingly destructive partisan struggle that has produced gridlock and stagnation on too many critical issues - most urgently, the pandemic and climate change. There’s a brief intro of the seemingly thin rationale at the screenshot below:Īmerica’s two-party system is broken. Now the fun part: a quiz! Yesterday, as part of this series, the Times decided to revitalize America by imagining not two but six political parties falling on a two-dimensional plot of social conservatism and economic conservatism.

The series will come out every Wednesday, but I’m not going to be paying a lot of attention. It will present not a single, cohesive vision but an array of ambitious ideas from across the ideological spectrum to revitalize and renew the American experiment. This is the idea behind Snap Out of It, America!, a new series from Times Opinion. What if it could recover that spirit of invention and restlessness, the risk-taking that formed this country? What would it change? What could it be? But America in its youth was a country confident and unafraid to confront the future. The economic boom of the industrial age was fueled by the blood and sweat of exploited workers the country’s westward expansion came at the expense of Native Americans. Not all of the big changes were completely - or even ambiguously - good.
Wars, which once smashed through gridlock, no longer lead to collective action. As the historian Daniel Immerwahr argues in a guest essay, hard partisanship makes it difficult to create coalitions for sweeping changes. There are, of course, reasons for this settling.
