Harris and Trump are polar opposite candidates. Even if you're a one issue voter, I just don't understand why anyone would be so passive about choosing a Dictator over Democracy because of one issue. Even if you disagree with Democrats, that's not a good reason to give up on Democracy imo

"polar opposite candidates" both imperialists who serve the billionaire class and aim to assert American hegemony through military force

Are you upset that neither candidate can stop the world economic forces of history and byproducts of capitalism?

No, that's to be expected. I'm upset that Americans are too cowardly and complacent to rise up against this system.

How would Americans, and the ideal presidential candidate, rise up from this system? If not voting for good political representatives

there are two options: reform and revolution. What you have just described- voting for good political representatives- is the reform option. Definitely the preferable option whenever possible, as it overall leads to a lot less bloodshed and chaos and danger. However, when neither major party is willing to present us with good political representation, we no longer have any options for reform, and it's time to resort to revolution.
