Genuine Change. Politics in this country (and probably many others) is a micron away from being a total sham. Or, it's easily arguable that it IS a total sham. Here's why---
1. Two different and recent polls (posted previously on this venue) concluded that SIX out of TEN voters don't want Biden or Trump to run for President. So, who are the two major candidates? It's a sham, and reeks of Plutocracy and Oligarchy.
2. The foreign policies of both Trump and Biden - especially regarding the Gaza War - are at odds with the view of most voters and potential voters. It's a sham, and has the stink of Mega Corporate influence. [Biden's treatment of Gaza is unforgivable.]
3. The neoliberal economic policies of both major candidates have proven to be disastrous for most of Main Street, but great for Wall Street and the Upper Crust of society.
4. Both Biden and Trump are blind to the principles of ecology, and also suffer from minerals and materials blindness re the path to sustainability. It's highly likely (unless voters bring about change in November) that such blindness will be extremely problematic within five to ten years.
5. In addition to the mainstream Corporate Media doing so for decades, both the Republican and Democratic Parties (at the highest levels) use Edward Bernays style propaganda to convince voters no other candidates can win national elections. When people accept such a premise, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Add to that: Democrats and Republicans write the ballot-access laws which hinder Independent or Third-Party candidates from being on the ballot in all fifty States. Then add this: Repubs and Dems essentially forced the League of Women Voters (which was non-partisan) to resign in protest from moderating Presidential Debates. Their replacement was a private corporation made up of Dems and Repubs. The Debates became a shambles, and Independents were basically shafted.
6. All national, official, political debates in our Land now are a bad joke. Moderators rarely control the situation, and candidates simultaneously yell at each other to the point where viewers can't make out half of what's being said. Such "debates" are a sham, and childish. They're an embarrassment. They're not even close to being civil debates. [Trump is the worst offender. He apparently thinks he's acting "tough" with his gross rudeness. Moderators should shut him down or kick him off the stage. He acts like a moron.]
7. Both Trump and Biden (especially Trump) appear to be completely ignorant of the dangers of tactical nuclear weapons. The same applied to Obama when he was in office. They all seem to get it regarding strategic nuke weapons, but apparently don't have a clue when it comes to the tactical type. To make it simple, so that even a politician can understand: a large-scale, widespread war using tactical nuclear weapons has an extremely high probability of causing a Nuclear Winter aftermath. In addition to the blast and fallout dangers, millions or perhaps billions would die of famine due to lack of sufficient sunlight for photosynthesis in crops. That info is from the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists and other legit sources.

It's really a shame that almost all of the mainstream, Establishment politicians here and in the other Nuke Weapons Nations choose to ignore reality in this matter. No one should vote for any candidate who is in such a Club of Ignorance. Both Trump and Biden have been in that Club for a long time. Only a completely propagandized voter - or one with no common sense - would ever vote for either of those two fellows. [I know some voters who will cast a ballot for Trump, and others going with Biden. They appear to have common sense. Too bad they don't recognize manipulative propaganda, eh?]
