Well, I’m sure that the first past the post voting system that created two giant parties pretending to each represent half the population, while in reality only representing slightly different billionaires, has something to do with that as well..
I mean sure but one set of billionaires is nazis and keeps on giving themselves tax cuts on the backs of everyone else. Not to mention oppress minorities, take away freedoms and just be all around terrible. While the other set is at least willing to do a few things about improving things so long as they also get richer. It's a shit choice but there is an objectively better choice and its disingenuous to pretend otherwise.
Oh yeah, one is way better than the other! But the lack of actual representation is still creating an “us vs. them” mindset that is straight up ruining democracy.
