America is cooked

I’m still baffled that MORE people voted for this sad, sick, small excuse of a man as president this time around. Very disappointed in my fellow Americans who are either too hateful, willfully ignorant, or ambivalent to let this happen to all of us. Shameful.

This is the endgame of the “lesser of two evils” game (for some people), sadly. I don’t think anyone on the planet can claim the democrats didn’t drop the ball totally and at every possible juncture.

The sibling dead comment is right: we need ranked choice voting. I doubt it will ever happen though because the two party system (really a one party corporate interest system) would be massively disadvantaged as a result and will fight tooth and nail to prevent it from getting implemented.

It was already on the "sous-vide" setting for the past few years, now it's been set to "broil" overnight.
