    Lol, I like the fantasy land in which you inhabit.

    Leaders = people who the people were forced to make a choice between only bad options, that nobody wanted, and your votes not mattering at all if you’re in a place where they’ve done dirty tricks like gerrymandering and vote prevention

      This idea that only the presidential election matters in the US is wild. Does the senate and congress just sit there doing nothing? Could all of this have been prevented if the political scene wasn’t already shifted all the way towards Trumpism?

        The prez has the power to add people to the senate, which is a job for Life, and Trump stacked the deck in his favour the last time he was in power
