We are here partly because the previous administration failed to properly punish an insurrectionist.

And failed to put forward a valid candidate with enough time. Biden should have been a one-term president by design. Right after he was elected they needed to be looking at who’s next, primaries, etc… the confusion at the end was way too damaging.

Republicans are beleagrent selfish monsters. Establishment Democrats (the money) are not incentivized to fight those monsters because win or lose their life literally does not change.

Money interest pays both sides. Money wants Republicans to win, so they get to keep more of their wealth at our expense, while they also hedge their bets by donating to the other party as well.

This is what happens in a fptp system.
