There is a saying in politics - “You get the politicians you deserve”.
Americans won’t want to hear this, but you deserve Trump, Biden, Harris, the continual lack of affordable healthcare in your country, and a level of disdain for the average worker that would make many western countries’ skin crawl.
To the right’s credit, they have usually been good at sniffing out extreme views and rallying around “their guy” across many countries/systems. The left are notoriously bad at this, and it hampers legitimate issues like those raised above because you’ll fight each other over issues that are less important than basic shit like a higher minimum wage, paid vacation that aligns with the rest of the world, universal healthcare, employment protection, etc. The system is unfair in America, but it’s unfair everywhere else, so it’s ultimately just an excuse for inaction/apathy.
At best, it’s just a sign that the average voter doesn’t want these things. That could be an education thing, or the average person just being against others getting help, but it again points to the saying - you get what you deserve.
