Yes. The politically engaged have become extremely polarized and out forth terrible policies that the normal people then have to make binary decisions on. Both Harris and Trump were symptoms of this. Both were kinda nuts. And the fact that normal people had to choose is ... Wild.

It’s crazy to me that the Democrats can run the most do-nothing centrist candidate twice in a row and people like you will still find a reason to complain.
The do-nothing centrist is the problem. “The politics of joy” doesn’t connect with people who haven’t gotten raises to match increasing productivity for 40 years.
Hey, I agree- but the poster up there was talking like Harris was too polarized, too extreme - which was Not my problem with her lol
