In most of the “free” world democracy is an illusion, you choose from people whos agenda always was to make rich friends and therefore money. Their branding, or what they call their “views” is simply chosen based on how they feel about their odds of getting elected.
This is what ripe democracy+capitalism works. The capital bought the political class and the political class upholds the illusion because feudalism didn’t hold up. The only thing that changed after WW I was that we replaced genetic nobility with capital nobility and multiplied them.
OMG i love gringos jajajaaa they have never known nothing but democracy and here’s the result lol.
The US is quite open about money’s involvement in politics. Search “Citizens United” as an example.
We get to choose are dictator. Are the opinions are bad but that’s beside the point because we get to choose. God bless America! To make things even better are dictator doesn’t even decided everything. The power is handed off to a small random group of people we don’t get to choose.
Do we really get to choose though? There’s the Electoral College, which also gets a say in who gets to be president.
