i'm not American, but I assume its the impotence of their vote -- i.e. it only really matters in some districts in swing states, so basically the sham of democracy, and I thought this Matt Stoller tweet made sense
Quote Tweet
Obama said people losing faith in the vote being meaningful is how democracy ends. That is just victim-blaming. Democracy ends when voting doesn't change things. Voting for Obama didn't change things, thus showing that democracy is weak and voting doesn't matter.

the left has been rolled over & over by the D party, which continually takes their votes for granted, & moves further and further right while pandering to imagined swayable centrists. D's also largely fail to lead when in power. prob's are so big & D platform so inadequate

Because the powers that be keep serving us Kool-Aid. The only option for people like us is to stop drinking it. Are there really no viable presidential options other than Trump or Biden?
