    How long do people need to wait though? It’s been bummer comprise candidate after bummer compromise candidate for 50+ years while peoples lives are getting worse.

    Rent is up, medical care is up, food is up, transportation is up, housing is up, yet wages are stagnant.

    50% of all economic activity is driven by the top 10%, the working class is being entirely cut out of the economy as a consideration.

    Sure the democrats are better than republicans, but that doesn’t help people afford rent or go to the doctor, so wtf are people really voting for? The chance that in 20 years after a lot of compromise things might be slightly better maybe?
