I don't think that's fair. For example - we have a 2 party system that is designed so only one of them will win. And most people want to vote for someone that has a shot at winning. That doesn't make them morons. They're just picking the least dirty shirt in their minds. Yes, you could say - well they don't vote in the primaries so it's their fault. But the same systems at play in the general elections are the same ones that drive the primaries. If primary voting was 1:1 with general election voting, the system would just adjust to influence accordingly. Who exactly was going to do anything meaningful to save the finances of the US? The best options we've seen have been Ron Paul and Bernie and we saw what happened there. Funding and media are able to influence who wins. If someone says logical things and is anti Fed or even a little anti Wall Street establishment, they are painted out as nut jobs. And it's effective to the public who generally, has no savings and has little time to research like those that live more comfortably. All candidates are all co-opted by special interests. And almost all by the financial system which is the biggest risk. It's not an accident that both red and blue appoint the same people to the Fed, despite fighting aggressive over almost every other nomination and appointment. We also have a huge wealth gap and media divisiveness giving rise to populist candidates. They make it one side versus the other meanwhile they both fleece the financials and economic prosperity that could occur if managed well. We've gone past the point of no return, led by both parties at different times and here we are. Overextended. Huge wealth gap. Ripping inflation. Interest rate hikes that, in my opinion, are just theater as we can't afford to keep hiking them. And as we hike them, the world gets pissed off and moves quicker to a new world currency reserve. No idea when that will happen, could be 10/20/30/40 years. But trade has already started to shift to other currencies. CBDCs are also underway and for everyone's sake, hopefully they don't get adopted.
