It can always be worse imo, but the fact is that it is rarely this bad. The two frontrunners are >70yo, which means there’s a very real health concern. Add to that Trump, who has demonstrated himself to be a very real threat to the country by not acting to stop the Jan 6 violence.

It can and should be way better, we’re just stuck because our voting system sucks and rhetoric seems to be having way more impact than before.
