It can't be any worse than what we have in the USA. I mean for god sakes, Trump actually won the presidency. Something is definitely broken in the US system (primarily voter suppression, legal corporate bribery, and gerrymandering is my theory)
- madengr 5y agoI assume you mean the 2020 election. Voter fraud and machine manipulation is my theory on why Biden is our illegitimate president.
- Nevermark 5y agoI think those are all significant. I would say the current party dynamics are a big problem, both the symptom and cause of other problems. One party fights for total control, with near total resistance to the other party, playing a negative sum game in order to maintain power despite demographic disadvantages. The other party has a wider spectrum of views, and is more open to bipartisanship. But it has difficulty strategically unifying when it would make the most difference. So it often negotiates from weakness despite having demographic advantages. As far as I can tell, this dynamic is getting even worse and infecting most people and many institutions that would be much better not being politicized.
- rmak 5y agoThere's no way Biden won the last election without manipulating mail in ballots. We all know big tech and the media helped Biden out big time.
