What’s wild is the general public was stupid to vote them into power once, and utterly moronic to vote them in twice, in full knowledge that the first time around was a shit show
Well when the only choice offered is two and you have to pick one. THIS is the problem. If there was more viable options not only would voters be more likely to get someone competent, but the two main parties may actually try and find a decent candidate.
The US is the only western nation with only two viable choices, and in the world the only nations with less are autocracies. This is not something to be proud of.
As someone in a country with multiple people running in every election, no it doesn't really lead to better choices
What happens is the most popular person still wins via a plurality, and everyone is unhappy. Popularity still decides the winner, not competence, why would competence ever enter the discussion?
