    Even as someone far more right than the average lemmy user, an 80 year old and an almost 80 year old being the only two options is absurd.

          Yes, really. Fuck’s sake. What, you think Trump is using his entire net worth of negative 500 million to bribe a massive group of actors sworn to secrecy and change all the GOP primary outcomes in his favor?

            No. I wasn’t even referring to primaries.

            But it’s not a system propped up by the voters when the system is specifically designed to favor two options and make voting a third option hard or undesirable despite said third option being better representative of your values.

              What third option is better representative of the majority or even a plurality of the views of the American people?
