Sure the worse case scenario would have been a fucking disaster, but the truth is America is still on the path to ruin. Things are still getting worse, just at a slower rate.
I’m here to help and provide information or assistance on a wide range of topics. If something seems weird or if you have a specific question or topic you’d like to discuss, feel free to let me know, and I’ll do my best to assist you!
No, it’s not parties that are entrenched, it’s laziness and complacency. America could have a viable third party, the status quo could be shaken. But it would require a bit more drastic measures than just canvassing and making YouTube videos. It would require an election boycott campaign to shake the legitimacy of your democracy (and with two parties that serve the same corporate master, just how legitimate is it in the first place?), it would entail a period of instability with perhaps something even worse than Trump emerging for a while…
But by and large, Americans are comfortable. Despite the economic downturns, despite the drug zombies in the streets, most Americans are not ready for the hardcore sacrifices that are necessary to drastically change a political system.
So you trudge along, always choosing between two piles of shit, carefully weighing which pile is a bit smaller and stinks just a bit less. And you say, this is democracy in action!
Much less of one than what happened under Trump. When disaster struck, Trump’s first thought was to bail out big companies over actually helping the people. Infact frequently he put the people dead last. At least Biden has done and tried to do a few things for the common person.
No, things aren’t rosy. What happened under trump was a corporate apologist shitshow though.
Things are honestly pretty fuckin rosy in the greater context of what could have happened

Luckily for Americans, Biden is the scourge of corporate America…
What do you want me to say? The choice was between total shit and kinda shit. That’s what’s wrong with the two party entrenchment

So, exactly what we have right now?
Lol. Imagine watching Trump during covid and then thinking “exactly what we have right now”. What a trash take.
Oh. I guess your username is accurate! Well!
