I find myself agreeing with everything you just said.

The fact the political system in the US is effectively captured by two parties that act the same "purple party" on many major issues (genocide for instance) isn't giving people much choice.

Going into this election where the choices have are Biden vs Trump when quite a lot of people would prefer ANYONE else, but the party system refusing to give them any other options (even primaries) speaks to how poorly this system is representing people

We could literally hold a lottery, pick a random registered voter, and I'm 90% sure they'd be better.
