Ever since the 21st century, voting Democrat (voting against Republicans) has been compulsory to stop the degradation of our institutions to corruption and towards autocratic rule.

But a lot of people didn't get the memo.

And to be fair a lot of Democrat candidates didn't offer anything themselves, but to not be the destructive Republican guy.

The memo part has a lot to do with the massive far-right propaganda machine that is literally controlling minds (just not instantly or with a wavy beam)

The latter part has to do with the mass precarity that neoliberalism allows to persist. If you're going to be in danger under King Log, why not vote for King Heron. And this is an issue across many nations with principle parties being neoliberal and far-right.
