America got 300mil people and the best 2 candidates to lead the country is Trump and Biden??
What else do you expect from a colonial imperialist state?
It’s surprising rather that Hitler didn’t resurrect to run for president. I imagine he’d get a good chunk of votes.
What else do you expect from a colonial imperialist state?
New colonies at the very least. Haven’t seen any new colonies created imperially in a couple hundred years at least.
One such colony is committing a genocide in Palestine right now.
Technically started as a british colony I suppose, but it’s been functioning far more like a US one.
“Best?” Of course not, that’s not how the 2 party system works. We don’t live in some meritocracy, Capital is what makes the gears turn. The system is designed to change as little as possible.
That’s why Unionization and organization at a grassroots level is the only way to move America meaningfully to the left, vote Dem to keep fascists out of office while actually doing the hard work yourself on the ground.
It’s never been about the best candidates. That’s a story for school children. In reality it’s all about who is connected to who, who makes favors for who etc.
And naturally you need to be rich, which means you are already connected to a web of individuals who you owe favors, or are expected to satisfy in different ways.
In Biden’s case a major factor is his catering to the Israel lobby his whole career. They really disliked Obama since he was known to attend pro Palestine events and apparently knew what the deal was. Biden as his VP pick was basically his signal to donors that he would govern like an establishment Democrat, and that he did.
