Honestly, it just goes to show that most American citizens don’t really give a shit about politics. So long as the person in charge has the right letter by their name, that’s all that matters to the majority of the US because then they can go “the guy in charge has the same letter I support and like, they can do no wrong because I can’t be wrong!”
I think most Americans would like to have a system that gives them real choice instead of the political duopoly. We just aren’t there in terms of having viable parties outside of a duopoly because of FPTP. There’s slow movement in the direction, but only very slow.
It shows in this thread that that’s the case heavily…
Also the weird illogical bullshit that “One side is incompetent, one is criminal and actively malicious”… like that’s sufficient… Is it too much to strive for neither of these things? The schism in peoples minds on this matter is absurd.
