Something that I realized about the fediverse is that you seem to be able to criticize the USA as a whole, but if you criticize the Democrats you get downvoted. Democrats suck they are not sacred cows (lemmy.ml)

At the same time, “what the population votes for is what the population gets” ignores that we are often only presented with crappy options to start with.

It does not ignore that, rather it explicitly takes that into account.

The caveat to my statement would ONLY be "so long as we're using this system."

Please focus more on accurate logic.
