I think Americans are realizing that democracy is a participation sport, and the the government is ours if we want it to be. I feel like we got complacent and hoped some other third party would do the work for us. Seems like we have to learn that lesson every generation.
As someone who has been engaged since age 15 (I'm 70yo), l've seen how easily voters are manipulated. Dems have done it too, pretending to do good while stealing from poor. GOP does worse. But mostly voters didn't apply critical thinking. 55 years disappointment on many issues I care about.
