It's always going to be this way. Every election will be an emergency. Every election in my lifetime has been. We're in an abusive relationship and we need to get out of it. We need to break the duopoly. We need sane polling methods. But, no. Just like they keep us divided they're keeping us distracted.
The problem is that roughly half of voters want that crazy shit, so until they're overwhelmingly the minority and have no chance of winning, they will have a platform.
They're both fucking crazy. They're not the same, but they're both insane to half the fucking population. That's their power.
It's shitty. We're abused spouses. At some point we have to defeat the fear and either go to a shelter or the street. Until we're willing to do that, well, enjoy.
