    Maybe the primaries system is fucked up, but protest votes in the presidential elections won’t change the system for the better either. Neither party wants to introduce a democratic, proportional voting system because both parties would lose power. I don’t know how to fix it, i just know that getting Trump elected won’t.

      Maybe

      Maybe?

      It is fucked.

      We have no say in who either of the two general candidates are, and they take billions from the same people/industries.

      That’s not an exaggeration, 2020 Biden spent a billion, and 2024 they’re predicting two billion.

      We have an illusion of choice and the same people win no matter which party wins the oval office.

      I don’t know how to fix it, i just know that getting Trump elected won’t.

      Neither will voting Biden, it doesn’t solve the problem, just kicks the can down the road and 4 years from now it’ll be the same thing. Either with trump again or someone even worse.
