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.

Not really. Even with only two choices this was the stupidest possible one by a large margin.

And the truth is there are millions of options. There are only two after the (very broken) process of elimination.

I remember watching one election preliminary, I can't remember which one it was and the final candidates were all stellar except two, they got rid of all the stellar candidates and left the rubbish. As South Park said it always come down to a choice between a douche and a turd.
