4. the situation as it is: untenable

Democrats fix everything after four years of republican stealing, chaos, misinformation, disinformation. Then Democrats get elected to put matters back in place. It gets old. I don't know how they do it.

It's sick. It just can't go on like this, yet there is nothing you can do with these people (Republicans). They are damaged, irrational, sick people. There is no hope for them.

I once thought instant runoff voting might help, but then I read an article that said it wouldn't.

Ultimately capitalism is the problem but that's not going anywhere.

I have no answers to this situation, but I am just glad I live in a blue state.
