America needs a new political party. Both of the current ones are bad. Republicans are way too reactionary, Democrats are pro-censorship, and both are getting more extreme. Neither appropriately represents an average person.

Yeah, it seems like only the most extreme members of congress actually do anything good. For example, Matt Gaetz and AOC teaming up on a bill recently

That’s mostly because corporations are unwilling to team up with either of them, so they have less restrictions on what they say/vote on…

Matt Gaetz just wants to improve his image among voters and challenge mainstream republicans (who usually cater to a wider audience of conservatives than him). By claiming that he has the moral high ground and attacking them, he gains an advantage.

How do you know that’s not true for AOC as well?

because she’s pushing for policies that hurt corporations (pro-union, higher minimum wage, higher taxes)???
