Any political system is a reflection of the economic basis. I keep reiterating this time and time again. We live in a bourgeoisie society that was formed during the rise of the capitalist economic basis. A bourgeoisie democracy is a direct result of this economic basis. And in this democracy the politicians are agents of the will of the ruling class (just like in any other system): the ultrarich. Politicians are in no way our friends, they don't work for us despite what some may say. Just think about it: what do you get out of the taxes you pay every paycheck? Worthy education or healthcare? Good roads? Safety? Nope. You get 20 years in Afghanistan and the invasion of Iraq so Dick Cheney and his bros can stuff their pockets. Obama was in office for two terms, and we were still in Iraq and Afghanistan. Because Bama was no different from Bush. Or Trump. Or Biden. They all eat at the same places, attend the same banquets, fuck the same underage girls and boys, etc. We are their feeding base, not their masters. So trying to get a worthy president is silly. Moreover, a president is just one guy. He's not a king, but just a face to throw on the tv screen.
