Americans are so fucking brain-dead that even if the midterms aren’t outright abolished or rigged, they’d still do fuckall to change things because ‘both sides hurr durr’.
They won’t do much to change things because the USA’s 2 party political system corrupted by Citizens United means that it does not matter who you vote for. The republicans are outright in your face evil and the democrats are the two faces do the bad stuff behind your back evil. The entire political circus is kept spinning by the corporate money that all in power in America are subservient to.
The illusion of choice is the killer here, Americans keep voting for evil parties and are suddenly surprised where their country has ended up. America hasn’t been a real democracy for a long time. The American people over the last 30 or so years have been the most disappointing aspect of this, they absolutely let this happen to themselves while convincing themselves that they live in the greatest democracy in the world with checks and balances because the Dow keeps going up, duh!
Yes, both sides belong to the same corprate elite/oligarchs. But there isn’t much in terms of a third party. It would need to be some grassroots stuff, like a town of 10k people elect a socialist mayor, then 4 towns in the state, then a senator or governor, etc. There is no 3rd option right now and of course we should vote for the lesser of two evils.
I would love to start this but I have work tomorrow :/ did u and a bunch of other people want to pitch in like $5 / month for me so I can quit my job and start a 3rd politician party? Would you trust me? There’s just no good options for the average person who is mostly just focused on survival :(
As if it matters.

TL;DR: “both sides hurr durr”
Why is there only 2 sides? It’s like you don’t even realise the system is rigged.
