Trumpled (Alternative Leading)

Don't misunderstand, I do believe that modern democracy is giving people the illusion of choice, whilst corporations and faceless people rule the nations, but I dont understand why they appoint someone who is ill equipped to provide the proper illusion of choice rather than these old guys who seem to be the physical representation of uncle sam.

What do they know about life?  These rich oligarchs who have been spoon fed their entire lives tend to run nations who are comprised of exactly the type of people they would never associate with aside from servitude.

Hell you could buy off anyone for half the money to do their advisors bidding.  I think this is the exact reason Trump is in power mind you.  The general public see him as someone that is one of them, but is too stupid to keep his mouth shut and then allows the general public to understand exactly where they sit in societal heirarchy.  Its why he appeals to the lowest denominator.

I don't disagree.  As a rolled gold narcissist, I think Donald is more keen on the notoriety than the power.  Now, everyone in the world listens to him.

The challenge for the Democrats was to provide an alternative - I am sure that is why Biden is there, because he represents a safe choice, ie a well-known older white guy with no spooky agendas.  Not necessarily great in terms of a forward-thinking approach, but probably inoffensive enough to win an election.
