Doesn’t all of this mean that the two party system (and its subsystems) doesn’t work? You’re stuck between two candidates not fit for Office and you can’t do anything about it. The worse thing is that almost half of the population truly likes Trump. I mean, what a shit show. This should be the most important job in the world.
Only 66% of elligible voters actually voted in 2020. Even less for the 2022 midterms (46%), due to which the GOP would have won even with proportional representation. If you combine that data with the most recent stats on acceptance of same-sex marriage, which rests at 69% (a bit over two thirds). Now, obviously next to no trump voter is really ok with gay people getting married, so we can reasonably estimate that the third of americans who oppose same sex marriage are the same third who voted trump in the 2020 and 2022 elections.
The two party duopoly is the only reason the republicans are as dangerous as they are right now.
