All people that cannot be manipulated by the people that really pull the strings behind closed doors are thrown out of the race.

Any election should be about ideas and plans but (except for Switzerland, afaik) no western is. This is no coincidence.

Politicians only saw the opportunities for themselves when they copied these shitty systems into their own legislation.

Thinking long-term was obviously omitted in most western political systems.

One guy brain-diarrhea's his every thought on twitter despite everyone saying that's not in his interest.

The other guy sniffs children and had an unnecessary 'awakening' on gays while in office, much to the delight of NAMLA

Where are the fascists? With that I mean Antifa.

Just joking. They would not be able to take part in a real debate.

Rick would be more of a neoliberal warmonger who also uses idpol to further his campaign similar to how the current dems do.
