A similar thing (expectations vs. reality dissonance) always baffled me.
Why the blue collar man votes for conservatives while all that conservatives want is to gift corporations infinite cheap labor supply from brown countries while virtue signaling they're pro working class
Vice versa why the blue collar man votes lefties when instead of protecting his market value all that lefties want is to flood the country with cheap labor supply from brown countries while virtue signaling they're pro working class
America should get some more political parties instead of just the two
It's the same thing since the turn of Man's power over god. The weak are inept an uneducated. When you have nothing, you have only the intangibility that if you will do well in life, then there is this overwhelming sensational thought you may be in the Kingdom of God. Alas, if you have nothing.
There are reasons we care about politician's religion, but not Elon "De Beers" Musk.
The poor have voted against their own best interests in the "don't abort a baby" category for hundreds of years while still proclaiming the party of god. Trust me. The reason it's called "Faith" is because there is no evidence.

Aside.
You're right. The duo-political system is about as useful as the duodenum.
The problem is there is such an overarching amount of monies which go to only the two. They support candidates which tow the party line. Bernie had more HARD support than Hildog even had mediocre support in the 2016 election. But DAMN, we don't want a guy in there who....you know.....might want to change things! We need this dumb, vigin-blood sucking bitch. She will definitely beat this fat, blowhard.
America has the problem between choosing between a doorknob and a blanket every single time it comes to "who makes the best boat?"
Lobbying is the biggest issue and has been since its inception.
We need a Parliamentary system, but we will never get it.
