The last words my WWII veteran grandfather told me before he passed away were, "it's ok to elect a fascist as long as the other guy is slightly older." (lemmy.world)

Common it's not like the only option, other than Biden, is Trump. There still time to vouch for another Democrat. Or bring someone who's not a politician to the stage. Like an NGO activist or the like. That'd be a democratic innovation.

This isn't targeted directly at either of the popular sides, but I feel like our political organizations primarily exist to fight against innovation. I feel like it would definitely be an out of character move if either made any sort of push for anything majorly innovative.

Our political system is designed to let corporations continue to fleece us for all we're worth.

I your referring to the two-party monopoly I feel you. I'm from a place where it's been the case until recently. It's always "winner takes all", but losers are still there after the elections. And they are you neighbors, your family, your colleagues. A bit more plurality and "coming together" wouldn't hurt us to face the troubles ahead.
