What do you mean by 'the other party'? Many places have more than two parties.

I assumed that meant "the other side of the conversation", e.g. "all parties involved".

Yeah I'm glad I don't live in a two party state. The zero sum game politics that results in rips the country apart. You see this in the US and also in the UK (Brexit etc)

  • It's not better in countries with multiple parties where nearly everyone (every relevant party) wants authoritarianism in the name of "fighting hate speech".

    • It is all the same, under different names. Plus even in countries with multiple parties, it is usually only two parties that have a chance, but again, they usually (or always) have a similar (or the same) goals.
