@Cyberoutsider @hacks4pancakes @Triddle It’s the soul of American politics, unfortunately. See also that quote from Gore Vidal.
@Triddle But that highlights the critical lesson here: a convicted felon is allowed to run for president because the US has institutions to promote democratic choice.

The reason this needs to be highlighted is because the path to solid change isn't from forcing things top down but about engaging the general population that chose this path. There is no shortcut to going out and addressing the concerns of fellow voters.
So many people have forgotten that over the generations, and this is the predictable result.
