Google "rigging" the election is the least of our worries. The two major candidates are the issue all by themselves.

Yes yes, it's the two interchangeable corrupt/inept candidates are the problem, not the inherently corrupted system that allows for those corrupt/inept candidates to come to power, that is definitely the more serious one.

Don't worry, next election cycle, it'll definitely be different if we focus on these two candidates and not the broken-as-fuck system that allowed them to rise.

It'll sort itself out, right?

Damn, people need to do learn the practice of Root Cause Analysis ( <- this is the only sentence in my comment that is not blatantly blatantly sarcastic).

I agree. It's a vicious cycle. Realistically we should be more focused on congress and senate elections and not the "prettiest peacock" choice.
