I mean seriously... We don't have ANY better and more qualified candidates in our 331.9 million citizens? Really?

[–] tanglisha@beehaw.org 40 points 1 year ago

Sure we do. That apparently has nothing to do with what the parties decide to do.

Yes. But are they rich?

More qualified, yes.

Able to win the primaries of the two political parties that people will vote for, no.

The problem is the voting system. You can vote for the orange idiot and never vote again or vote for the other guy and live longer.
