Putin is a President in what is an oligarchy.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_oligarchs

There are probably a few more names that need added, but in either case, it’s a short list of people that essentially have the reigns of power.

“We” are the exact same thing.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brV-GSOYQsQ NBC so of course they attack Republicans. They won’t mention Biden who made his 37 year Congressional political career being backed by a few folks.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvJ1ZuJDNbQ Also a general lefty, amateurish and highly biased, but his bigger point is true and he makes an argument.

We are a “kinda democracy,” where in reality there are a lot of games played with the system and a few folks, most not even known by name to the public, decide the nations political fate.

A study on this topic: https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/perspectives-on-politics/article/testing-theories-of-american-politics-elites-interest-groups-and-average-citizens/62327F513959D0A304D4893B382B992B

In most cases where the the interest / will of the people is in opposition to the oligarchs, the oligarchs win. In other words, the majority of Americans if you were to interview them right now, 5 years ago, 10 years ago, 15 years ago, would state that trade with China, the loss of manufacturing job to that place, their human rights record, or that they are a single party communist regime needs addressed. YET the US policy maker will vote for most favored trade status even in the same year that tanks roll over pro-democracy students on Tienanmen square, literally. The US policy maker will take no action even after a naval blockade of Taiwan, and we will support China’s admission to the WTO years ago regardless of their environmental, human rights record or even the security threat they pose to us. Why do you think? Just ask Apple, Amazon, Dell, Cisco, HP why that is so.

***Most elections go for the candidate who is supported by the oligarchs and bureaucracy. What we call the “establishment” is really an interplay between a government bureaucracy and these oligarchs.

The oligarchs and the corporations they lead are the ones that have the money to spend on big campaigns, on the political parties, lobbying, funneling money to the politician and making them and their family rich, supporting organizations like BLM that “magically” pop up one year before an election and then vaporize afterward, spend millions on legal litigation if a decision is made they disagree with, help out in elections, run massive advertising campaigns...

In many cases, they outright own or at least heavily influence the media: MSNBC (Bill Gates), Washington Post (Jeff Bezos)...

Do you think it is mere coincidence that serious political consideration to having Big Tech broken up, since they are monopolies (Meta, Google), suddenly just disappeared after the last elections? https://nypost.com/2021/10/14/zuckerberg-election-spending-was-orchestrated-to-influence-2020-vote/ Do you think it is possible that who was elected in 2020 and the director of the FTC he appoints might have something to do with this?

Do you think that it was out of concern for climate change why a pipeline that is cleaner than a dripping train that is diesel powered moving oil by rail got canceled? https://apnews.com/article/donald-trump-joe-biden-keystone-pipeline-canada-environment-and-nature-141eabd7cca6449dfbd2dab8165812f2

Do you think it is for the public’s best interest that policies in place that control pharma costs got cancelled literally within days of Biden taking office so that they can return to gouging customers in some cases with 2,602% and more (((profit))) margins? Pharma makes such high profit margins and rakes in so much money that they actually go to great lengths to hide this from the public, since it could outrage folks to find out that the tax payer is paying $1,650 a month (~$50 a day) for a daily pill (PrEP) which is no more than a few cents to manufacture.

Big pharma, tech, the Unions, those benefiting from trade with China, everyone that paid to make sure Biden got elected, got their pay-off.

Why do you think this happens? https://news.bloomberglaw.com/daily-labor-report/biden-cements-labor-agreement-requirements-for-federal-projects and https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2023/10/biden-administration-union-strikes-nlrb-win.html All big federal construction projects MUST go to union firms. And it has become far easier to organize/unionize.

***It is up for debate who’s “democracy” is more phony, Russia or the US, but neither is entirely real.

These are sorta democracies, where the game is as Trump put it, “rigged.”

If you want to know who is going to win a US national election, figure out who that candidate is that:

1) Has support by the oligarchs.
2) Is better networked into the bureaucracy.

That is the one that usually wins may he be a Republican or Democrat and that is also why this term “uniparty” is very accurate/on point. It doesn’t matter if it’s a Republican or Democrat on many issues: trade with China for example.

Take a look at what is happening in our own country, right before your eyes! You have a candidate that is hamstrung from campaigning, can’t travel much during trial and a gag order limiting what he can say. J6 took out most of his foot soldiers that operate in the gray area, Oath Takers, Proud Boys, one more. But Biden still has his soldiers: BLM didn’t see all their leadership taken out by the DOJ, nor ANTIFA etc. See what’s happening here? What do you think the MSM is going to do for Biden during the debate? Do you really think they will let hims sink or set the stage to at least do OK by controlling what questions are asked and the format so that Biden doesn’t have to do a lot of talking off the cuff?

Before all is done, Biden (the candidate backed by the oligarchs and bureaucracy) is going to get re-elected and you’re going to be told how you need to get behind this because you need to respect the democratic process and office of the Presidency.

We can debate if Russia is a little bit more of a sham democracy, but the idea that we are so different, is naive.

So you have the run up to the elections and it’s obvious how the candidate with the oligarchs and bureaucracy behind them benefits (MSM/Big tech, Lawfare...). But what about in the elections themselves?

If we wanted a true democracy, fair elections, that actually represent the will of the people, you’d have some sort of verification that only those allowed to vote are voting, you’d have in person voting (no mail in ballots - opens the door for voter harvesting), no Gerrymandering (done since 1812), no digital voting machines, no networked voting systems...

Those making the rules and creating the processes for elections are allowing the fraud to creep in by design. They knew exactly what they were doing when they changed the rules for the 2020 elections to allow for massive use of mail in ballots: https://electionlab.mit.edu/sites/default/files/2021-03/HowWeVotedIn2020-March2021.pdf (look at page 6) They’re not stupid. Billions are at stake, people that are pretty smart and have big ego’s and their political futures are at stake. Every move is analyzed, legally reviewed, and those people making these decisions in all reality know EXACTLY what they are doing and how this will generally impact an election. This is intentional and our elections are sorta/kinda real.

When you raise your hand, and shake a finger at those bogus Russian elections (which our MSM is full of), realize, we’re not that different. In fact, all Western nations (US, Germany, France, UK... all oligarchy’s with highly manipulated elections) are pretty much the same in that regard.
