After this last primary, I can't agree with you.

The Democrats had Marianne Williamson, who is by far a more moral and progressive candidate, and wasn't suffering clear and public cognitive decline.

Zero votes.

The Republicans had Nikki Haley and a host of others, who will also some degree of asshole, weren't nearly the same degree of asshole as Trump. (And also weren't suffering very public cognitive decline.)

Zero votes.

Is the system bad? Yes. But folks who vote party every single time always seem to pick the worst candidates too, and it's eminently clear that genocide and war crimes aren't considered disqualifying factors in voters' choices.

Partisans, in essence, vote for whoever NBC and Fox tell them to.
