You literally won't be able to vote again at this rate. So dumb.

That's what you people said last time, yet here we are again, having this same conversation.

There's no reason for the USA to ever get rid of the election theater. It placates the average liberal with a vain hope for potential change some years down the line. It dissuades them from any more radical action, turns them into docile sheep who think that all you need to do to enact meaningful change is to throw a piece of paper into a ballot box once every 2 years.

But the reality is that the change will never come. You're only temporarily pulling the brakes a little on a steady downwards decline. But the destination remains the same: rock bottom.

    It's possible that it's already too late and Trump and Musk have it rigged. We won't know until after the election.

    It was too late 250 years ago.
