      As far as I can tell, the system has sucked since its inception

      Nope. It worked way better before Trump.

      and continues to benefit the same people it always has

      That has always depended on the party.

      Clinton: raised taxes on rich. Bush: lowered taxes on rich. Obama: raised taxes on rich. Trump: lowered taxes on rich. Biden: raised taxes on rich.

      Point taken, I was referring quite literally to the system. It’s unlikely we’ll have another election, but if we do, expect the democrats to run Liz Cheney. Centrism doesn’t offend their class interests and they don’t care if they lose. So they’ll run a Republican and kneecap anyone to the left of a Republican.
