They got rid of Biden but gave us Trump who's even more f'ed up than Biden. Threw the baby out with the bathwater. The voters were legitimately unhappy but they also made a stupid choice.
I'm so tired of hearing about Biden....on his worst day he was better than trump.
But it was 82 year old Joe Biden’s decision to run for reelection that set this entire disaster into motion. So no, Biden and the Democratic establishment do not get a free pass.
Party registration is falling off a cliff for both parties while the number of people registering as Independent is rising quickly. There’s obviously a huge hunger to move beyond these two completely useless zombie parties. But there are nearly insurmountable hurdles to get a third party going in the US system.
No doubt bots and trolls and foreign governments are using the algorithms to promote instability. But there are a lot of very pissed Americans looking for alternatives regardless.
Yes, but most of us are in the center. The far left is following the MAGA playbook—trying to use discontent to generate support for (and normalize) extremist positions.

OP: Yes, I absolutely agree. I was definitely being hyperbolic with this title. It's just I've encountered some people who liked to downplay Republicans and Democrats being equally bad, and it turns out oh, some of them are actually not even U.S. citizens. They may not even be bots, they just think U.S. foreign policy is U.S. foreign policy and hate both parties. I guess they're entitled to their hatred, but then it's annoying when they heavily try to involve them in political discussions and try to dismiss people who point out how much more harmful Republican policies are.
*when they heavily try to involve themselves in political discussions.

If you think about it, MAGAs are basically a bunch of losers controlled by a small number of ultrawealthy elites who exist in insulated bubbles, far removed from ordinary American people.
FIFY
Wrong again. It should read like this:
“If you think about it, hyper partisans on the left and right are basically a bunch of losers controlled by a small number of ultrawealthy elites who exist in insulated bubbles, far removed from ordinary American people.”
