    Voting. They were given the option to vote, but chose to be the type that “don’t care much about politics”

        Did you ever canvass for any alternative candidate or do you expect them to just rise out of the ether?

        So replace the term “both parties” with “the only party” by categorically discarding all faith and worship in all political parties that have done absolutely nothing for anyone of the working class.

        Then make a new party that’s even better.

          That’s what the Greens and PSL elected to do. They’re the best way out that doesn’t involve bloodshed.

            And I’m sure their policies would introduce runoff voting for future elections; but as it stands, most voters are currently voting out of fear of “the other big party” - for which voting Green poses an extreme risk.

              Which is a confidence game. The big parties only matter because people have been convinced that they matter. Once this illusion is broken, real progress can begin, but until it is broken the US will simply continue its vicious cycle into oblivion.

              Besides, what chance to Dems have of winning at this rate anyway? What chance did they have leading up to this past election as they covered up Biden’s dementia, enabled a genocide, and imposed a candidate of their choosing after denying the people actual democracy? Are they redeemable?
