I didn't misrepresent what you wrote. You said that the political system is mostly the elected representatives, when in reality it's mostly the voters.

Voters in America can choose from several parties. If they don't want one of those parties, they also have the option of writing in someone else's name.

Are you trying to say I'm not in control of my choice when I vote? Or are you trying to say my vote won't matter if I don't vote within the two prevailing parties?

I am saying the only voting options you have are mostly owned by parasitic corporate sponsors.

Bernie Sanders appears to be one of the very few options where voters in a US few states have an option to vote for someone not owned by corporate parasites.

The US political system is almost entirely stitched up by corporate patronage parasites.

Yes if you vote for other than the two main parties that vote is absolutely very unlikely to gain any meaningful representation in the US political system.

It is a protest vote at best but does not impact the corporate sponsored crony is and corruption that is now so deeply entrenched.

For example Trump is owned by Chevron and Zionists, among others...

Here is some documentary evidence for you to consider...

So you prefer a government parasite over a corporate "parasite".Even though corporations produce things and pay workers, while the government takes from workers and produces nothing but strife in return.

Its not a question of my preferences- it is a matter of the very limited options available to US voters.
Chevron/Big Oil are profiteering from US consumers and Trump will do nothing to stop that because he is owned by Chevron.
Trumps war crimes in the middle east benefit his corporate sponsors, not US voters.

They can vote for anyone. The fact that Trump won the highest office without ever working in politics is indicative of it being an extremely open democracy.

It greatly benefits the US to intercept as much of the PRC's oil supply as possible and bomb their proxy that was chanting "death to America." It's practically the first responsibility of the executive branch.

No, not really.

Most US voters have only a choice to vote for candidates already owned by parasitic corporate sponsors.

Someone like Trump.

Crony capitalism created by a 'democracy' debased by chronic parasitic corporate patronage.

reply

What do you mean "not really"? They're allowed to vote for a dirty unaccomplished socialist hippy if they want. Hence Obama and Sanders and AOC and Mamdani. All of these people wholeheartedly support the PRC's goal of annexing Taiwan. The whole party explicitly runs against the ideals of capitalism.

Uncle Tom Obama was owned by the military Industrial complex just as much as, if not more, than Trump.

So you have named 3 politicians which MOST US voters are NOT able to vote for.

The US political system is effectively owned and operated by parasitic corporate sponsors.

Chinas Heavens Mandates system delivers better results for citizens as those in power in China know their necks will be severed if they do not deliver progress for the people.

I honestly can't tell if you're claiming that:
a) we aren't allowed to pick other candidates
b) we aren't willing to pick other candidates
c) only people on TV are candidates

Uncle Tom Obama was owned by the military Industrial complex just as much as, if not more, than Trump.

Very typical of a leftist to start hurling slurs when a person of color is slightly Westernized in any way.

In any case, the guy was an obvious Marxist. The arms sales to Taiwan weren't up to him. If the PRC were to launch in an invasion while a Democrat is an office, the US would not intervene.That's why we have to force the issue this term. You had 12 non-consecutive years. You missed your chance.

So you have named 3 politicians which MOST US voters are NOT able to vote for.

Every district has a Democrat on the ballot who spews the same nonsense that you do about evil corporations not paying enough taxes. Everyone is able to vote for all the stuff that you're promoting. In California and New York, they do, and they voted themselves into becoming a slum as a result. On a national level, they weren't supressed or censored or disenfranchized in any way, they just lost.

Chinas Heavens Mandates system delivers better results for citizens as those in power in China know their necks will be severed if they do not deliver progress for the people.

"If we don't like the government we'll revolt" is not a system. Literally every country does this. And obviously the communists don't feel worried by it because they're not delivering progress at all. What they deliver is, like any leftist party, ridiculous micro-managing that makes the country poorer.

What is unique to the PRC's system and leftist regimes is their Qin-esque one-party fanatical legalism where people get executed for opinions.
