[QUOTE="Frank Underwood, post: 388741, member: 35"] The two mainstream political parties in the US have ways of manipulating the primaries (the DNC is surprisingly worse at this than the RNC.) Then you have varying factions of the media, which do the bidding of the duopoly. They're propagandists for them. This includes smearing "undesirable" candidates, while proclaiming candidates favorable to the establishment are "most electable." Trump won in 2016 because he was an outsider politically, even though he was a billionaire. This is what I mean about the DNC being worse, as they did far more meddling in the primary process to ensure an anti-establishment candidate never became the leader of the pack. Trump was an agent of chaos who ultimately had neocon tendencies. However, he sometimes went off script, which is why the political establishment doesn't want him back in. Money in politics also makes being a politician a lucrative job. It's not uncommon for people to get into politics for earnest reasons, only to be corrupted by corporate influence later on. Money is used to buy elections, giving politicians a cushy job into their golden years, and giving the corporations and military industrial complex everything they want. It doesn't matter how old they are, as long as they stay on message. Trump's a liability because he likes to stir the pot, while Biden's a liability due to cognitivie issues. [/QUOTE]
