        Plus (AFAIK) because of the shitty electoral system in the US, it’s really hard to even get on the ballots. So it’s not even like people who want actual change can vote somebody like West or PSL (Forgot the name of their candidate) because in half of the states they’re not even on the ballot. Fucking great

        Etit: hope not to start a struggle session, but is cornel west a good candidate? He seemed miles above recent mainstream US politicians to me (keep in mind I’m not Amerikkkan, fortunately)

      Also even when we had total control of somebody’s government we didn’t set one up like ours. But a bunch of constitution literalists keep insisting what our founders did was perfect and an inspiration to the world. “Best Democracy strikes again!”
