The American Elections
I wonder if this is what the founding fathers and democracy ever thought was the future they dreamt of ...
Watching the IOWA caucuses and seriously think the system is flawed.
It's so easy for the least democratic people to twist the laws and confuse people ..and the media seems to be able to ...do like , when we say "beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder".. the media is able to put the image in front of you. And your version and choice of beauty is actually the choice of the media that put that image into your mind, thought, and thus the vote.
We swear oaths in courts and everyone of those senators promised to tell the truth, and each of them was blatantly lying.. they were voting on a partisan basis, bluffing ..and yet .. everyone (the American people - as they so often repeat) .... knows theyre bluffing.
The caucuses encourage horse trading among the voters... not much different from India's Lok Sabha or Rajya Sabha.. where horse trading though illegal, has so many loopholes, that the very democracy that was to have brought power to the people, is taking it away from them.
Ive blogged for years about the negatives of having a Trump, and the many ways to thwart Trump. Well, no one listened, and now after 3 years, have realised that theres no hope. The American people have demonstrated that they have no will to be freed from sleaze and eye washes.. i believe that Trump will win again.. I hope Im wrong, but doubt Americans have visions of their own.
My innards scream. Why TF cant the democrats for once, open their eye, pool their resources, stop doing adverts against themselves and giving Trumps republicans ammunition for the eventual Democratic candidate!! Unite for once if you really value democratic ideals. Bernie was your best bet - Warren is a second string but better than a Biden who will no doubt start with an impeachment effort from the GOP, if at all he does win.
American Democrats- do it now, unite. Regroup. This is no time to bicker against each other.
Thanks to you, Trump who barely survived being removed from.office, today looks so strong, wins the GOP caucus with an overwhelming 90%, and with 10 months to go for re election, we may have to celebrate another 4 years of Donald Trump.
The only silver lining is that the Stand up comedy and talk shows will have free fodder from Washington.
