Wrong.
The fence-sitters are the cowards who have done nothing but cause harm this nation, they lack the courage and conviction to take a stand or to make a commitment – indeed, it was the fence-sitters who gave is the likes of Trump, the consequence of their lack of integrity and stupidity.
The fence sitters are people who don't like either party but don't have other alternatives. The either/or alternative doesn't work when one of the political parties has absolutely no interest in or ability to effectively government the nation.
Republicans have no platform, no plans, and a horrific track record of letting infrastructure languish, destroying public education, limiting rights for workers, for women, and for minorities. Last, but certainly not least, they've crashed the economy 3 times in 40 years with their tax cuts for the rich, and spending on the military and useless wars of aggression. You've spent more money building infrastructure in Afghanistan the past 20 years, than you've spent building infrastructure at home.
By every measure, life in the USA is getting worse for its citizens. 40 years of wage stagnation has killed the middle class, and a thriving and growing middle class is necessary for a healthy and thriving economy. Growth is slow because workers have no disposable income and are dependent on government handouts.
Democrats at least want to govern, but Americans have been brainwashed into thinking that the "economy does better under Republicans". No it doesn't. Rich people do better under Republicans. The rest of you are worse off economically - a lot worse off.
I disagree. It is the political system that is fucked. Totally. When you have a choice of two pretty ordinary parties then you are between a rock and a hard place. Have more choices. More political parties. Christ, I come from a country of 5 million people that has anywhere between 5-8 different political parties in parliament. I live in a country of 25 million that has three main political parties, plus a slew of minor parties that have representation in the house and senate. Under those circumstances you can't complain about not being able to vote for a party because there is literally a party for everyone. In the US? Not so much. I mean, the ideologies are different, but there is no nuance. No subtlety. There are some conservative ideals I like, but not many. And there are a few liberal ideals I like. Where is that political party in America? The one that takes the best that both have to offer?
You don't have a choice. You have one political party at the moment, and an attempted coup by a facscist group lead by Donald Trump.
