It’s much worse than that. People just feel like they’re getting screwed whether they are or not.

  This might stem from the simple fact that the average American is constantly getting screwed. It's just a sliding scale of how badly. Both parties are against them, owned by oligarchs and mega donors that are actively trying to increase the wealth gap and make average Americans fight each other over the petty dilemma of the week, rather than the real fight of the whole country vs maybe a couple thousand ultra rich douchebags.

    This is exactly the type of cynicism that's destroying the country.

      I'd argue it's the wealth hoarding and vast lobbying that's destroying the country.

        I'm sure you would!
        • SecretDreams 20d ago
          Yes.. that's why I said I would.

  When is the last time the American government didn't screw at least 70% of its voters?

      No, the government is destroying the country by always screwing 70% of its voters.

        Nope, it's worse than that, the democracy actually works and the voters are just dumb.
