In other words:
When you write complete bulls*** like
"...the Patriot Act allows for a secret government to be installed without informing the public.."
...and I ask you for proof, which you cannot provide because it does not exist, you don't have testicles to admit that you where just s*** talking.
You sure are a rude bastard aren't you? I guess that makes you more believable. Trump does that, labels everyone rather than presenting a good argument.
Let's start with the first part of my answer (because I did actually answer). There are two political parties. Each party picks a candidate and that's it; we get to choose between those two. We laugh at the Communist Chinese governments Chinese National Congress because they get to pick representatives from only one party. The same was true of the Supreme Soviet of the the former Soviet Union.
But is there a whole lot of difference when we have two parties rather than one? We could say it's twice as good. But by the same yardstick it's half as good as a nation that fields 4 party candidates. We do, of course, have a lot more than 2 choices because other parties do run. The other parties do not get equal air time, time in "official" debates, or financing from PACs for advertising to actually have a chance at winning.
The two parties are run by lifelong members of politically attached families and organizations. They define their party planks and only selected people approved by them will get any meaningful support in their political careers.
From all this we can determine the president in the next election will be determined by those elites. They give us a choice between Biden and Trump. The Chinese People's Congress will have a choice between two candidates in their country as well, they will be from the
same party is the only difference.
Our presidents are chosen for us.
