    And because that doesn’t happen, I just have to assume that Americans aren’t nearly as progressive as everybody on the Internet thinks they are.

      Don’t underestimate the efficacy of voter disenfranchisement and disengagement. Republicans don’t need to prop up Trump. People who loath him will vote for him simply due to party loyalty. Discrediting Biden is all it takes for a win.

        So everybody has to vote for someone they hate otherwise the other guy they hate will be in power.

        Great democracy everybody. Glad the wrong lizard didn’t win.

          I’m not defending the system. I’m suggesting we use it until we have a better option.

          Whether you realize it or not, comments like that drive disengagement. It imparts hopelessness, which leads some to apathy.
