Yes and no. What you're talking about was in itself a somewhat new phenomenon. We're only spoiled now compared to a couple decades, it's not all of political history. I mean, just a few decades earlier you had Reagan, and decades before that you had JFK; both very popular presidents. And most of the people in between weren't as terrible as the recent choices, either.
RFK is for talking about institutional capture. I want him to talk about the capture of the political parties more, as that's a huge issue. It's amazing they go on and on about representation and democracy, then run their parties like fascists.
Also, to having those three and feeling lucky...we've also never had anyone as bad as Biden, or most of the other Dems, most of the Republicans are as bad as ever. I get what you're saying, and the elections have never been as Safe and Secure™ as they are now. Putting aside the quality of some candidates (and I am even grateful, as I said in another comment), I feel like we've never had less representation. RFK likely won't win the Dem nomination. The Republican nominee will have a massive uphill battle to take on the presumptive opponent, The Most Popular President.
The system is more of a mess than it's ever been, and while I am glad to have those three around, I certainly don't feel spoiled.
