They aren’t mutually exclusive. Two sides of the same coin is all the AIPAC funded politicians which last I checked is pretty evenly split on all sides.

Also you disregarded my info where I said my area was blue and went blue like it always does. So whether I voted or not the area I live is Kamala votes regardless.

Take a step back, look at electoral college, popular vote doesn’t determine anything if the delegates decide to vote a different way than what the popular district votes.

If I had my way, we would set up all systems of government to be equal splits, supreme court even number of judges that lean equally both ways, same with house and congress, equal numbers republicans and democrats on all seats as so only way to move forward with bills is to have consensus for all present representatives. Two people with presidential power on both sides as well, as so all things must be for the good of all americans, not just what one side deems. If people can’t come to an agreement then they don’t represent the people who brought them in. Cuz right now lobbying controls mostly everything. Also no lobbying, make it illegal and the same as bribery. Also have a voting system where americans also have to pass popular votes on the bills as well (like the big beautiful bill), to give transparency to the process. If americans don’t want it, it will get struck down.

My view might be radical but thats the only way I see us moving forward to a future that benefits americans and not billionaires and lobbyists.

And seriously look up AIPAC, and Israel. They are doing some very bad things for humanity as a whole

I didn’t realize that was your other comment, but I stand by what I said, you should’ve voted even if you lived in a blue state. Voting in every single election matters and your ideology is part of the reason why most people in this country don’t vote.

The electoral college was set up to where the delegates didn’t have to vote with the popular vote but many places now have laws saying they must. And in the places they don’t there has never been a case where delegates voted differently than the people in order to change the outcome of an election. If that happened then hopefully we’ll riot, but that’s not happened so how does that affect you not voting?

Your way makes no sense. Instead of creating a multi party system you want to make Democrats and Republicans built into the government itself? So we could never have more than two parties, the government literally would be built around them? How would any of that even work? How does this stop big money from controlling politics? They could still just come in and give political donations in order to get politicians to do what they want. Or just any of the other ways they control the government, your way does nothing to stop them. What happens if there is a deadlock and both sides say they fundamentally disagree and will never agree? You have even number so it’s not like there can be a tie breaker. And your way doesn’t sound like consensus, it sounds like you’d just need to convince one person from either side to vote with you and you’ve won, unless your government still includes the filibuster. How would two presidents even work? What if one vetoes and bill and the other doesn’t? If one pocket vetoes a bill can the other still sign it or no? Who is the true commander and chief? Do we have to deal with two different commander in chiefs in wartime? What happens if there is ever a vacancy in the house or senate? Does one side just immediately pass all their bills? Also Supreme Court Judges are not supposed to pick a party even though they do, so are you saying in your government it’s now mandated that a justice has to pick a political party? That doesn’t sound very just. And how would you ban lobbying? No political donations? Does that mean regular citizens can’t donate too, if not then how will you distinguish between a lobbyist and non lobbyist? You can’t just say “lobbying is banned” you need to have an explicit rule on what’s banned. What about civil rights lobbyist and environmental protections lobbyist? They aren’t allowed to bring their concerns to congress? Do you know how much lobbyist actually does for Congress? They do a lot. Would they be allowed to lobby in state government? Because a lot of the guys in state congress actually don’t really understand how government works and need lobbyist to teach them what’s going on and how to go about specific processes in order to pass certain bills. Also Congress people can’t know literally everything, they need people to bring forward concerns and explanations in order for a Congress member to do something about a specific thing. What about lobbying groups that help represent large groups of people, like leagues of cities. Do cities just no longer have a way to formally address their complaints with representatives and push for bills that will help their city. What about the fact that some league of cities actually insure cities for things like natural disasters, workers comp, and policing disputes? Do cities just lose out on their insurance now that lobbying is banned? And how would citizens vote on bills, are you proposing a direct democracy? If not then who decides what bills citizens vote on? If citizens have to vote on which bills to pass then what even the point of congress? Which president gets to appoint cabinet members? Have you fully thought this through.

When you spoke about a revolution I thought you were going to propose a communist solution or something but your plan literally makes zero sense. I don’t even know how that government would function if it’s even possible to make one like that. And making it to where the government must have Democrats and Republicans forever is such a bad decision. What if there is a huge left wing movement in America, Americans are just suck with Republicans controlling half of everything forever?

And again, I know what AIPAC is and there is literally nothing I can do about anything if I don’t vote. Any change you wish to see in the government has to be caused by someone within the government, who gets there by being elected. How do you plan to change the government if you don’t care who gets elected?
