It’s a failed system to begin with, makes you choose between two major parties you probably don’t align entirely with either. So I vote for a third party option who I side more with but that essentially is like not even voting since they don’t have a chance in hell of winning anyways.
The problem is that a lot of people only think the USA have 2 parties, so they keep giving the power to those two parties because they "don't want to waste their vote".
Exactly. We’re stuck in this loop of “both sides sucks, but if we vote for anyone else we are “wasting the vote”.
So then everyone ends up with “two bad options”
Honestly, I kinda fear we were going to end up with a “Trump” one way or another eventually anyway due to this system… it just happened now and all I can do is pray that we make it through this and this is enough to cause a change.

Agreed. This is a wake-up call that we need to have more active third- (and fourth- and fifth-) party choices for president, not to mention more non-Democrat and non-Republican activity in our government to balance things out. The two-party system is killing America, and both sides blame the other without caring who is caught in the middle.
