Doesn’t Russia still hold elections where Putin always wins? Or North Korea?
I think the idea is you keep having elections so you can say you won.
As opposed to the wonderful and free America, which holds elections where we get a choice between one of two candidates favored by corporate oligarchs. Candidates who are appointed to the candidacy, if the parties so wish, by “[going] into back rooms like they used to and [smoking] cigars and [picking] the candidate that way”, as acknowledged by our own courts.
Sure, a third party candidate can run, but without funding they have no actual chance of winning even if their message would otherwise resonate with the public. That’s not a functional republic or a functional democracy, it’s democracy theater put on by our ruling class to appease the working masses.
Whataboutism.
A. We weren’t talking about that.
B. Yes it sucks too, but the alternative, which we were actually talking about, is objectively worse.
I know, you were spreading western exceptionalism talking points, which is what I wanted to dispel.
North Korea has killed fewer people than America. I’m obviously not pro-Russia but just quantifiably, they have also killed fewer people than America (especially if we’re talking Russia as a current political entity and not USSR). Both also contribute less per-capita to the climate change destroying our planet. So “worse” by what metric exactly?
EDIT: Whole lotta downvotes, notable absence of actual responses. Liberal moment. “Worse” by what metric?
Now they are talking about killing people and the climate. How far we stray, to be edgy.
What are you yapping about?
I could be wrong but I think Trump was a third party candidate, they really didn’t expect him to win, sure he’s in the club now but only because they have to, before he was scratching at the doors. Loving the fact that your replies are basically “both sides bad” shit take when you addressed that in your comment, yeah one sides worse, it’s Trump, let’s move on instead of going over the same talking points over and over. Being better off with Kamala does not make her a good president, but she’s the better of the two choices! Is screeched, oh did you just say 2 choices? because they are literally the same side
