Great point. I sadly recall how I felt when there was no Blue wave in 2016. There is no excuse for that pathetic performance for which the country has been paying dearl;y and permitting SCOTUS to elect Dubya in 2000 cost us even more. We should never have lost those two major elections but Democrats found way to hand the country pover to horrible administrations.

To be philosophical, representative democracy is messy in general our version is particularly messy. Poorly written as we have come to witness. Example: 2nd amendment was never ever giving the people the right it gave organized militias or state guard but the NRA has successfully bastardized and twisted the meaning and well we know about Joseph Goebbels and his truth serum. So there is a decent change that Robert Kennedy Jr pulled off a Ralph Nader. And then I either become a radical militant and go down in a blaze of glory. Or I return to Europe when I once lived for two blessed years. Europeans are much more civilized than we are.

Some of us might return to Europe when it is not so civilized. Sorry that I sound pessimistic, but sone times I feel like Cassandra.
