    It’s the only two options in the system because the American people are not as left-wing as your average fucking Lemmy user.

      Even as someone far more right than the average lemmy user, an 80 year old and an almost 80 year old being the only two options is absurd.

        Absurd, yes, but an absurdity that is endorsed, unfortunately, by the voters.

            Yes, really. Fuck’s sake. What, you think Trump is using his entire net worth of negative 500 million to bribe a massive group of actors sworn to secrecy and change all the GOP primary outcomes in his favor?

        Yeah. God help us. But tearing down the system, while temporarily satisfying as millions die, will not be the solution we want it to be. What emerges will have the exact same problem as long as it is democratic and the American electorate is not changed.
