That leaves the problem that the proposed alternative to the leading party is always limited to the other party. The American people get conditioned to choose between democrats and republicans which means that neither party needs to be good in order to win the next election. All that's needed is to suck less which is why Trump got through the primaries and ended up becoming president. Essentially, a piece of shit is preferable to a steaming pile of shit. |
To solve that problem they would have to revamp voting laws for example to the likes of Germany where the leading party has to have absolute majority. In heavily contested states this would give a lot of power to smaller 3rd parties.
But there is no chance for that to change anytime soon since the current system heavily favors Republicans. I've given up on hoping for change in the US to make it the proper democracy it always claims to be.
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
