    People should, but you’ll still see die-hard shitlibs in comments sections on .world defending the Democratic party, defending the Harris/Walz campaign, and blaming anyone to their left for their defeat. 45% of the Democratic party think the problem is that they haven’t moved far right enough, and the concept of a third party is still met with constant derision.

    I honestly no longer think Americans will ever get out of this. I don’t think most of them even want to. It seems like the average American doesn’t want democracy.

      Lots of people have been brainwashed to not want democracy. They want a 2 team system because it gives them the good feelings of 'im better than the other guys" regardless of how factually true that is. And when there is an other guy that they explicitly aren’t better than, like a third party candidate, its all kinds of rationalization as to why actually its better to choose the shittier option because otherwise you might get the feally shitty option. As opposed to just not choosing a shitty option.
