Easy. Both Trump's and Biden's approval numbers are both in the toilet. Yet they both easily won their primaries.

If that's your idea of "proof" I think we're done here.

So you'll take your arguments and go home, and not even try to convince me otherwise and potentially win me over with your candor and intellect and personality?

That seems like the problem with politics as a whole these days.

No, citing one example of the current system as "proof" that the whole system must be thrown out is the problem with "politics as a whole."

Also: thinking that a few paragraphs on Hacker News constitutes sufficient wisdom is another problem with "politics as a whole." It is not going to convince you no matter what I or anyone else says.

Do some research. That probably means reading some books, hate to warn you.
