Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

Explain how the two parties are bad. Then explain why lobbying causes them to be bad, and the electoral system keeps them in power regardless. Finally, explain how, obviously, none of the two parties will remove either problem, and therefore the system must be destroyed. Bonus if they also agree that capitalism must end.
