Great question and I'd answer that unfortunately yes, many, especially here, believe so. I've seen one too many ppl desiring to get on to the next election without caring about what happened on 11/3/20. It's kinda hopeless.
As far as the current system, correct.
But not ALL hope is lost. We can still do something to restore the Federal Republic and the primacy of our Constitution. The Founders set up a very straight forward system that works great when it is followed.
All we gotta do is clean out the garbage and reset to defaults.
That last bit is gonna hurt and will require a whole bunch of stuff no one wants to talk about and no one really wants to think about. We CAN do it. We CAN prevail. We can restore that promise of freedom... But we ain't gonna do it sitting on the internet talking "around" the issue.
