Oh I agree with you that the two-party system sucks. The curveball right now is that Trump is not beholden to the Republican party, he just used it as a way to be a viable option in the election. Remember, he is very independently wealthy. He's a wild card. Neither party wants him in power. The Republicans can't control him, of course they will have influence on him but he's going to do what he wants to do. I mean look at what he's already done. He teamed up with Tulsi gabbard and RFK jr. I guarantee no establishment Republican would touch either of those people with a 10-ft pole.What if you’re happy, confident and successful but believe that both political parties cater to their benefactors and overlords rather than help fix issues for the people?
Do people like this even exist?
Like most things in life, it's not black and white/ all or nothing. It's a mixed bag and on a spectrum. If you want an example of a completely corrupt country where the leaders fully serve themselves and their backers there are examples right now! There are countries that are so absolutely fucked. The USA 's leagues away from those places. Is it perfect, hell no. Is it one of the best options in the world right now, hell yes.
Contrary to what one of the previous comments was saying I actually had the "Everything is corrupt and my vote doesn't matter and whoever is in office doesn't care about anybody or will fix anything" mentality when I was a young man. The older I get, the more I realize my life is in my hands and the future of the United States is in the hands of the people. If you think things are fucked up then do something about it. If enough people push for change they want they can make it happen. That takes effort though, and most people would rather whine and complain and be lazy and do nothing. IMO The USA is one of the places on Earth where the people can effect the outcome. The mindset you were describing is the exact mindset that truly corrupt people would want you to have. To be complacent and depressed and just accepting of whatever.
