The problem is, those solutions are never quick, and never easy. They take time to come to fruition. The American electorate, of all creeds, is far too impatient for that.
Until that changes, nothing will ever be good enough. You could see it with Obama, with Biden, with Clinton… most especially with Carter… not to mention all the reps at the lower levels that people never really think about except to say “they should be president”. They weren’t perfect, but they tried. Maybe not in the best ways, maybe not enough… but they tried. But for far too many it was just broken promises… nevermind the struggle to do good while so many people around you fight for their own pound of flesh. Undercutting you at every turn to please their own electorate and win the next election.
Yes, the politicians didn’t deliver enough, and they’re at fault for that. But the population also demands perfection, and we’re at fault for that. Especially when perfection is different for every single person.
