    In Iran’s presidential elections, the public is offered a slate of candidates who have been screened and approved by the unelected Guardian Council, which is comprised of religious and legal scholars.

    In America’s presidential elections, the public is offered a slate of candidates who have been screened and approved by the unelected wealthy elites, which is comprised of the people who steal ~90% of the nation’s wealth.

    I agree with you. It’s mostly just theater. Biden is the clear choice over Trump, but the American people will never get the president they want and need under the current system, which is a president who will stand up to the wealthy elites for the people, like FDR, TR, and JFK.
