You're not going to get anyone not connected to the financial elites. They didn't foresee Trump winning, and now they're doing everything in their power to see that someone even slightly outside the system will never get elected again. You could fill 100 filing cabinets with all the crimes committed by all the presidents in the last century, yet he's the only one thats actually having charges levied against him. The people prosecuting him don't give a crap about justice, or whatever they think he did. They just want him out of the way. They've looked the other way at crimes 100X worse by others because they play the game.

I didn't vote for him because I just got tired of voting for the lesser of two evils. The binary election system is a farce. People arguing between Democrats and Republicans are just useful idiots. I shall continue to be an unuseful idiot.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Ranked choice voting would be a very welcome improvement to this garbage system, but obviously the government doesn't want that to go into effect.
