The entire bi-partisan political system is corrupt
You are correct then why do you support either party?
I've said 100x times that I don't participate in presidential elections and only my local ones for that exact reason.
In the 25 years I've lived in my hometown everything got better(town went from a village to a city)(tons of new businesses i.e local tax revenue)(#1 safest city in Illinois)(One of the top school districts in Illinois) Upgraded and expanded Libraries/Sporting facilities/bike trails/etc.)
All of what I mentioned above was because people in my community care about OUR community. Not the town over. Not Washington DC. Not some other state. OUR city. Property values skyrocketed as people tried to escape Chicago and raise their family in a safe area.
Never once did I think any sitting President did jack shit but start wars, LIE about what they'll do when they get in office, and just be spineless corporately bought out stooges.
When migrants came into Chicago and their mayor started sending them to suburbs(my city and surrounding ones were told call the police if you see anything suspicious and we'll take them right back to Chicago)
When Chicago and our Federal government said, "You have to get the Covid vaccine to have a job/go to school/etc." our mayors literally said, 'No you don't you have the right to reject any medical intervention"
I suggest more people become active in your local politics instead of being emotionally dragged into a system that's been broken for decades.
Lying to yourself and saying Trump can empty the swamp or Biden can do something. They can't. They won't. and they never will.
Politicians don't give a fuck about anyone/anything but their own power.
