Haha. Good. Suck it.
Not your fault but "They built a terrible system" is wrong too. If your parents were congressmen or business owners, you might have a point, but the actual affect the average person has on the system is negligible. The rich and powerful were going to destroy it.
That's why it doesn't really matter who sits in the presidential chair, bad laws still get made, and only the absolute worst get repealed, because they all overall agree with the direction of the country, it consolidates their power when they get it. People think "Things will get better under Biden" should really have been saying "Things won't get as bad as fast." because that's more accurate.
