Really what I don’t understand about Americans … they are given two political options … one sensible one and one batshit crazy one … and it’s still a complicated toss-up that they have to endlessly debate about.
Yes, but the sensible one has icky brown people. And my pastor told me that us blond blue eyed tall people are the chosen ones. You see, that’s why we are politically “right”, cuz we’re on the right side! Gahyuck 😛
The American education system only had a very brief window of competency…
That’s it, the tragic truth is we’re woefully uneducated. There was a brief bright spot in the 80s/90s but even that wasn’t great.
Other than that, it’s the fact that so much of the country is isolated small towns. People in NYC and bumfuck Alabama don’t really have a lot in common, so there’s no real unifying identity or even set of values.
And then obviously oligarchs corrupting both parties so they couldn’t lose. But its worth mentioning they lost control of the DNC almost a year ago.
We are bombarded with propaganda and large numbers of us aren’t able to filter out true information. All of it is by design. While we’re running around arguing with each other and being appalled by the outrage of the week the billionaires and their cronies (our “elected” representatives) do everything they can to siphon more and more money out of us. We’re fed constant comfort and false security that keeps us complacent for fear that it’ll be taken away. We’re constantly forced to compare ourselves to others keeping us striving beyond reason to attain X so we can be happy or fulfilled or whatever their selling.
Winning both above and below median income is a little nuts…
It’s honestly just the 1% freaking out

This is what happens when money can purchase politics.

But you see, only one side wants to punish the people I don’t like, so… the choice is clear. /s
Every time I look all options are crazy. Some might be slightly less crazy, but all are crazy in some way.
