Wait until the democrats impeach the entire Trump administration and put several of them into prison. MAGA supporters are already crying about that possibility. Trying to suppress votes to hang onto power? How un-American. 

Instead of any of that the Dems choose to punish public workers by not paying them.

look at DOGE boy over here all worried about workers now.

Sorry lassie, that dog don't hunt.

Which the Nazis came over here to study, and replicate in Germany. Isn't it lovely to be a leader? 😉

Unidentified, masked and illegal thugs going around demanding "papers" from any brown person they come across is Un-American. I just wonder what happened to you in your life that fills you with such hate of minorities? People supporting thus type of behavior just doesn't make sense. Maybe in Russia or Nazi Germany it was the norm, but in America?

That's something that I never understood either. A part of me doesn't want to understand something so ugly and awful.

Didn't Auschwitz hold 100,000 people, too?

Theoretically, I believe Auschwitz was designed to hold about 50,000 prisoners-keeping in mind that most of these prisoners were destined for the gas chambers. 

Something that holds 100,000 people is either going to be a city in itself or horribly overcrowded.

DOGE cut jobs. Those folks can file for unemployment or find a new gig. Dems want workers they have not fired to work for free while they grandstand.

But it took murders in the streets to get relief from Trump's SS. They don't like being called Nazis but when they act like Nazis, the description fits. They really need to remember the Nazis tried using the "Just following orders" defense. And then they were hanged. We're more civilized than that, theyll just get life in prison here. And I'm really sure they'll be popular with all the gangs in prison. 🤨🤨

Shut down the entire government, bring this entire corrupt administration to it's knees. I'm starting to see why The Donald needs bunker upgrades. He may need to live out his days down there...Just like his hero did.

I mean, it's OK to talk about when the Trump regime loses and falls out of power, and that they will be brought up on Nuremberg-like charges and there will be trials and convictions and punishments and all that. Nothing wrong with talking about it. Just remember that they already know that's a possibility, if not probability, and they can hear us talking about it, and if we think they have no choice but to allow themselves to lose a free and fair election so we can set those events in motion, we're delulu.

Honest question: is there a historical case that winning parties ended up changing their policies in the wake of a significant third party vote tally? I don't know either way.

Winning parties and significant third party vote are the two significant portions of your question which makes me feel the answer is close to no or no itself.

Winning parties don't change until they start losing.  In 2012 and every year before since I had turned 18 I voted republican because on a large majority of issues the country faced, I felt their policies were better.  In 2016, I refused to vote for the GOP candidate.  But I still agreed with him on the majority of the issues, so I didn't vote Dem either.  IMO Johnson was the best option for the country and I took it.  My vote, my choice.

Fast forward to 2024 and I was severely underwhelmed that Harris was the best candidate.  If you look at the last published party policies for both, I probably am still a republican as I would agree mostly with them most in regards to party platform.  But I feel I can make an argument that Trump doesn't follow many of those policies, but even more importantly to me, I don't think he follows our laws.  

Which party (in terms of POTUS) is losing right now?

Which party all of a sudden likes a lot of Libertarian policies which promote individual freedoms?

If you answered Dems to both, you'd be correct.  And because of that they currently have my vote because my freedoms "Trump" any other issue our nation is facing today, in my opinion.

All that said, those are my own priorities and they affect my vote.  Who says my priorities are better than yours?  Or who you are to say your priorities are better than mine?  

In short, the 2 party system has plenty of issues, but 1 thing its really good at, is when the country sees solutions or other good ideas that can help our country but aren't being addressed, the losers have time to understand those issues and communicate them out.  And good ideas tend to win elections.

Even if you agree with me, I guess the next question is does this still ring true today or has society outpassed those norms.
