USA is a two-party system so come Presidential election time one gets to choose between two options. There are effectively two ways you can choose between two options:
A. you are voting FOR one of the options.
B. you are voting AGAINST the other option - hence by default you must choose the other
there is a significant number of people that are in the B. bucket (in my personal circle 9 out of 20 people fall in B. bucket, 8 of which NEVER voted for a Republican in any election prior to this one) and democratic party needs to think looooong and hard about that before midterms and especially next Presidential election
But I've thought about it a lot, and I'm still clueless. Something to do with lots of people getting screwed, I guess. But why ordinary folks switch their vote from a party that serves the top 20%, to a party that serves the top 0.01%, that is still mysterious to me.
