You are making my point. You have all sat around while your nation stopped being a democracy, and you did turn out to vote but it was for the orange king.
As always with americans you bluster but never seem to even admit your issues. You are in a uniquely terrible situation, and all you want to do is have people stop talking about it or have options. Nothing beyond voting for one of two teams, hell even both parties primary systems are wildly unfair and you all still don't do anything other then pick red or blue.
The second highest voter turnout since the start of your terrible experiment was 2024 trump. You can't wheedle your way out of it, your nation voted for the dood. Instead of even admitting the issues at play you cry foul accusing us of cherry picking and tell people to vote "better". Its a two party system, you ether have the worst person at the top or you have the other guys who know they have no real challenges to their authority. This is very much not an issue in most nations the world over. You just think the world outside is the same as yours, its not.
Lmfao you're clearly so fucking clueless it isn't funny.
The UK and Canada both also struggle with a two party majority domination. You're just really angry at America and probably watch far too much media about it to know anything but what you're told.
65% is terrible turnout. Voting is the solution. Waste of my time talking to someone who is so angry and pissy about a country they're not even from.
What country are you from?
