(premise: non American, couldn't care less about defending any of the two parties)

This sort of defeatist attitude, that always result in low turnout (read: extremists vote en masse while the majority sits out because "both sides bad!!" and let them have their way) is what destroys the country.

"Both sides bad" is the message that the wealthy minority pushes to take ownership of the entire political system. Successfully. The end game is what you see in Russia: people who brainlessly let autocrats take over for the last 30 years now fighting one another for the last pack of sugar on the shelf, while the .0001% are competing with one another at who owns the most expensive villa+yatch combo in Europe.

@Elessar This is true, but if I live in the States at the moment, I might well feel defeated. 😟

@FreddieUK Feeling defeated won't solve anything.

Hungary had it 300x worse than the USA and got out of it, acknowledging some option is worse than the others, making a compromise, and turned a massive turnout against it.
