It’s the sad state of democracy in all electorates that use demonstrably shitty voting systems like first past the post. Because those force you to vote strategically.
Important to note that the cult dictator part is exclusive to one party, while the genocide is baked in to the entire system. Nobody who doesn’t support Israel will ever be a viable candidate in either party.
I’d say the main reason Trump doesn’t fall under the latter category currently is lack of opportunity. He’d absolutely try to profit - likely personally and from both sides - in the Israel/Palestine conflict.
This is how democracy works in any Capitalist system where the bourgeoisie have an outsized influence on the state and the proletariat have an undersized influence.
An authoritarian oligarchy posing as a socialist republic would be better, am I right? Then our human rights can still be crushed by the state for the benefit of a chosen few, but the uniforms and anthem are better.
A Socialist Republic would be better than a Capitalist Republic, yes. Human rights would be better represented if the profit motive was abolished and production was run democratically, rather than by competing warlords in Capitalism.
Isn’t this the general sad state of democracy? Specially in America and it’s 2 party system?
Rarely people get to vote for whom they want, they vote against the one they dislike/fear the most

You can choose compromised cult dictator rapist or genocide profiteering this election.

He would 100% celebrate it and his following would worship him for it.
Yeah you could also add genocide profiteering to the cult dictator rapist also.
