  • In Iran’s presidential elections, the public is offered a slate of candidates who have been screened and approved by the unelected Guardian Council, which is comprised of religious and legal scholars.

    In America’s presidential elections, the public is offered a slate of candidates who have been screened and approved by the unelected wealthy elites, which is comprised of the people who steal ~90% of the nation’s wealth.

    I agree with you. It’s mostly just theater. Biden is the clear choice over Trump, but the American people will never get the president they want and need under the current system, which is a president who will stand up to the wealthy elites for the people, like FDR, TR, and JFK.


  • The thing that bakes my noodle about J6 is that I wonder if the right wing would still have been able to spin it if the Capitol Police had been less effective and the crowd had gotten their hands on Members of Congress. Watching Congressmen and women get taken hostage, assaulted, or possibly killed on live television would have upped the stakes considerably. Still not sure if it would have been enough to overcome Trump’s widespread support and/or the spin machine that enables him.

    “Mostly peaceful with a few bad apples (who were actually Antifa)” already worked, and I’m not sure even more graphic and horrifying footage would have changed things on the right. They already condemned Trump immediately after J6, then reversed course when the base stayed with him.
