>reelection rate of politicians is 80% while approval rate is below 10%'
Yeah, congress has had like a below 20% approval rate for decades, and yet the same geriatric sellouts keep on getting "elected", despite being widely hated.
Yeah. But also I'm pretty sure they're all rigged into power. At a high enough vantage point it just becomes a food equation and the political position is merely a figurehead for what must be done.

FDR was also president before the amendment that officially limited presidents to two terms. Before that most had stuck to two terms as a common precedent since that's all the terms George Washington would agree to be president for.

FDR's communism blatantly stuck out like a sore thumb and I think part of the reason he was so eager to get into Brother War II was to get the US army out of the country and kill the men who were still loyal to their Nation. Had they been in the country while he was going around stealing gold and implementing communism, theres a chance they would have just military tribunaled him.

Also notice how both sides always have to be each others polar opposite. To give the illusion of choice, both sides disagree on everything, even in cases were one answer is the obvious choice.
This in contrast to direct democracy or a parliamentary system with dozens of different parties, were each of them have to shape their opinions based on what most people want, otherwise they'd get no votes.
Critics will claim that it leads to a situation were "all parties are practically the same", usually balanced in the middle somewhere, yet nobody has ever managed to explain why that is supposedly a bad thing.
Same here. Notice how none of them have had majority for many decades. That's the min difference from red jew vs blue jew. They are being held back from implementing their most stupid policies thanks to the parliament.
Immigration and green washing, nobody wants that, so now both red and blue have stopped bending over for the green like they used to. It's by no means a perfect system, but it is a lot more predictable and adopts to what the people want.
Yeah, the constant flipping of the parties makes it abundantly clear that neither actually has accomplished anything, even if democracy were a legitimate system, parties that so frequently let down their constituents would naturally die off. Thats why I constantly say democratic politics is just sportsball for midwits instead of grugs.
The number of people who buy into the left right paradigm has gotten so much larger and so much more passionate over the years. How it’s possible for people to still be this brainwashed is beyond me. The GoyCattle honestly think “the elite” or “the deep state” depending on your political leanings, is full of retarded people who are so stupid that they’d only buy/blackmail one side of Congress. Obviously the jews buy/blackmail both sides of Congress, they infiltrate and compromise every position of importance in our government, they control the federal agencies, and most importantly, they’ll NEVER allow us to vote away the power they have.
No. Obama had 2 terms. Many others had the same. People are just fucking stupid plus conservative/liberal keep shifting. A conservative view now is the same as a liberal one 20 years ago
He doesnt mean 2 terms for one presidency, he means two back to back presidencies, i think the last time that happened it was Reagan and (((Bush Sr.))), in fact there hasnt been a party thats held the presidency for three consecutive presidencies since Republican Hoobert Hoover nearly a century ago, which was ended by (((FDR))), who is the entire reason we have presidential term limits.
There's not an overarching conspiracy. I think it's a lot simpler than this. Simply put, American elections work in such a way that a two-party system is always going to dominate and the two parties want to keep it that way. The only way to keep the status quo is to keep both parties competitive. That means no landslides or longterm holds on power, at least nationally. This has the fun side effect of generating loads of campaign funds every election. So the parties flip flop not because either side wants to lose power but because they know if they make the public too happy they'll make the other party noncompetitive and throw the political game into chaos.
The interesting thing is that, even in countries with many parties, it tends to come down to two big ones flipping back and forth. Probably to do with the human condition.
IIRC, reelection rate of politicians is 80% while approval rate is below 10%. Make that make sense.
