And the country?

Voting for democrats and republicans is what got us in this mess yet they keep voting in these corrupt parties, why? They have proven to both be garbage and not actually care about you or the country

Because the average person honestly isn't qualified to make an informed decision when voting. Democracy is a deeply flawed system.
