    This is largely because western country on average have better standards of living, better wages etc. owing to imperialist theft. It’s not to quench their thirst for freedom and democracy. The man isn’t thinking “fuck I really want to #Vote between two senile rapist septuagenarians to choose #MyPresident”.

      I agree 100%. Last night I watched a documentary partly about how Bernie Sanders was shoved out of the candidacy by his own party. Republicans have the same problem. Our system is broken and we get to “choose” the candidates the elites want and therefore, there is no real choose, no real democracy - and it keeps getting worse.
