American democracy and freedom are fucked. But I don't blame those 36% of non-voters. These people were INSPIRED to give up on politics.

It's the media environment. Political coverage fucking sucks by design. Left populism is too interesting to be given air time, too much of a threat to the people who fund the parties and own the media. Politics used to be interesting. Politicians used to say things, now they just run out the clock with white noise.

This is true of every election except maybe one.

Nobody always wins. The "winner" is always elected by a tiny minority. It's a fundamentally corrupt system. Always has been. Literally concocted by genocidal slavers.

Because of Americans inability to get their fat asses off the couch and vote, the rest of the world has to suffer the consequences.

Eh. If democrats ran candidates that actually cared about the working class, they would win a lot more elections.

It should never have been close enough for them to matter.

This is who we are.
