There are actually 4 political parties in the US, masquerading as just 2 parties.

1. Liberal Centrism (Dems)
2. Labor (Progressives)
3. Centrist Conservatism (Old School GOP)
4. Ultranationalist Far-Right (MAGA)

Libertarian would be a potential 5th.

Definitely no full-blown Communist parties. Closest you get is the European "Democratic Socialist" parties you see in France or Germany.

Throw the libertarians in the republican bucket

“Labor” is kind of an outdated way to refer to the modern version of progressivism, which isn’t really about left wing economics so much as it is about left wing cultural / social issues.

What do you think universal Healthcare, unions, raising wages are about🤣

Suggested 5th
Fringe Believers: whether very liberal or conservative, they only see snippets of the full picture, largely informed by edge cable, social media, and unvetted news (raw story, daily beast, daily caller). They argue opposite sides and vote on their extremes, but they’re all so out there they can be one category of “I do what I’m told and am not contributing to democracy.” I’d consider these folks as some overlap with MAGA, but the left has nutty people, too.

Sorta. This is more misinformed. That’s why I lumped them in together as one group regardless of intended affiliation.

I hate my job. Absolutely despise it. Wake up/go to sleep every day with a heavy dread for the future. Grind my teeth in my sleep. Gaining weight. Blood pressure spikes whenever my phone goes off. Becoming unable to hide my disdain for coworkers and clients on calls, emails, etc. Have a loving and supportive partner but feel like I can't relate to her at all because she enjoys her work. I don't want to go back to my post-graduation poverty but damn, at least I felt like I was a real person.

Recently started a book about politics and the author argues that we (the educated, professional class) are to blame for polarization. Since we are well paid and generally unaffected regardless of who is in power, our positions on issues can be uncompromising. Furthermore, we don’t go out and really engage in campaigns. This is because we’d rather argue amongst ourselves from home. This leads to vacuums where bad actors can take up the mantle of leadership. What do you think about that?
