It is. I'm not American but we are facing similar issues where I live and it's a bit insulting to be told that simply voting would change anything.
We (and the US) have alternated between two major parties for decades. They have had ample time to show us how they run things. And from what we've seen, it's difficult to assume that anything would be different the next time they are in power.
That's my perspective. The two parties take turns steering the Titanic. Democrats seek compromise with the icebergs. Republicans look for more and bigger icebergs, full speed ahead.
We humans need to be about an order of magnitude more unruly in order to survive our own banal ideologies.
Please, can we be?! 🙏
US politics has had two major parties since the beginning (Useful Charts YT channel ). They've splintered and switched around names and policies, and some third parties have popped up for causes, but the system is biased to keep two in power.
