Half my immediate family has cancer from undisclosed testing causing nuclear fallout over swaths of the southwest US..
US is run by assholes.
I went to a beach on the Jersey Shore and saw this sign

And you guys keep voting them in.
Well, sorta. Most of us fail to participate at all in voting, mainly cause we know the system is fucked and nigh impossible to "fix from within", but also have no clear idea what could be done. Other than the obvious, but not many are eager to face death, obviously...
There are examples where US populations have banded together and voted in people who genuinely care about their interests (Bernie Sanders; AOC; et al). If US peoples of varying electorates actually organised and spoke with one another to endorse and vote in more of these people, change might actually occur.
The issue is threefold: the US population would rather not vote than seek out a third candidate who actually cares about them; the US does not have mandatory voting; and the concept of community has broken down and been sold to individualism so broadly that many in the US would rather vote in a candidate who harms them as long as they harm others than someone who would help them but also help others.
