I'm no expert in American corporation and big money presidential/Congressional selections but I wanted to share a comparison with a good ol IRI and Islamic doctrine. I'm sure you all have heard of the word "خدعه" which was used by our dear leader during the 57 Anghelab. He claimed no opposition groups will be oppressed and they will have all types of freedom. Well, we know how that turned out. They were all either imprisoned or executed. American selections is in a much watered down version is no different. They do خدعه too. They promise lots of things to rile up the masses behind them depending on who they're talking to and what agenda they're into. Some of the promises are pretty damaging.

 

For example, I've always believed the the US is the biggest socialist country on earth with, well with the exception of lack of universal healthcare, which is really the most important. They have all types of freebies for the poor and the low incomes and that has created a lot of fraud and an unhealthy life style. I'm pro helping the needing people and trying to get them to stand on their own feet but not a big fan of creating the vicious cycle of poverty that becomes impossible to get out from. Another big problem with these prostitute politicians, no matter what their party, is their thirst for channeling huge amounts of taxpayers money to their military so that they can bully the world into submission.

 

There's an unbelievable amount of corruptions that accompanies this military spendings. We've all heard of $1000 toilet seats made by the contractors for the Pentagon. Yes, I understand that there are no perfect system but I still believe that America could and should do better than this. There was a time that America was admired by most countries but now not so much. As I've always said, with all the changes that have occurred in this country for the past four decades, it's still a great country to be living in. Just my two rials.

 

Absolutely

 

 

Corrupt politicians are easy to find. Nearly 90% are corrupt. If we have to rank them, Trump would take the 1st place by far.

 

 

The only thing is Trump was never a politician. Another thing we will need to educate ourselves on. He was definitely a crook businessman no question about it.

As I explained before educate educate educate yourself. The Russia reset started long time ago. Biden has no role. He just needs to execute it. It is a neocon republicans doctrine. Biden is just the vehicle. Blinkin-Nuland running the show. It could have been a Republican like Mit Romney executing it. And that is why it does not matter if biden shakes hands with empty space or falls. It is not as simple as Biden became President and he started the war. Any President Republican or Democrat from the establishment had to execute it.

 

 

There are podcasts and podcasts of deep discussions about it by many critical thinkers especially by liberals and democrats on where all this started. And yeah Republicans love this conflict more than anyone and have absolutely no problem with it.

Yeah you vote for what is important for you. If it is gun and you want to keep your gun you can vote either candidate because the law won't change, it is your constitutional right to bear an arm. If you want good healthcare vote Bernie Sanders, if you don't want someone named "trump" in the office for whatever reason vote the other guy. If you are pro war Biden should be on top of your list. If you like a homosexual President I am sure Butigeig is always available. If you care about environment, you vote Environmental activist RFK Jr. Or Hillary if you are a corporate democrat.

 

 

You have candidates for all walks of life who will suit your needs.

Yeah. As I said domestic stuff are always there to play with and keep ordinary citizens busy.

 

 

For example infrastructure policy of Donald Trump included ensuring U.S. energy independence, safeguarding the cybersecurity of the national power grid and other critical infrastructure or things such as Criminal justice reform which addresses structural issues in criminal justice systems such as racial profiling, police brutality, overcriminalization, mass incarceration, and recidivism. Or Obama's Obamacare was a great thing. Or the way many of my undocumented friends in the 80's who got green cards through Regan's amnesty when he granted amnesty to 3 million undocumented illegal status people. In contrast for example Obama rightfully deported the most illegal undocumented immigrants.

 

 

Those all I am ok with by both parties and at the end all of these become bipartisan because it does need the approval of some democrats and some republicans. I have witnessed it since Ford and every 4 years these issues above are debated.

 

 

Although there was a perfect opportunity for Biden to reform gun control with house and senate on his side. He just chose not to do it. And I can understand. Had he done it what will remain to debate on in the next election?

 

 

Domestic stuff I am totally ok with. We live in the West and regardless of the administration we possess high standards of living. But it is all up to the citizens. The system or the admins here, democrats or Republicans do not oppress the citizens like Russia China or IRI does. So it is indeed the land of opportunity and that is why I appreciate the western values and I am so thankful that my children were raised with these high standards and are both successful people. 

 

 

My problem right now are the neocons and their way of foreign policy which is against some of my beliefs in a humanitarian terms when it comes to war, innocent people being displaced or desperate immigrants being drowned while getting to safe haven. And Biden as politician who never rejected a war and approved all in his 50+ years of career I am not a fan of. 

About Biden and in general about any President the best way to evaluate them is to give score on what things they promised to do vs how many of those were achieved. As simple as that. Those report cards are available online.

 

I know the following maybe way over too much for some, but once we pass through the headline news and remove the first layer of veneer, we get exposed to certain details which are just jaw dropping.

I just never liked the Republican neocons (Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Nuland, and...). I did not even like Bolton in Trumps's admin. And thankfully he fired him. They are the worst thing that rooted and grew in the US politics and it started since GWB. And now they are in this admin. The two (Republican Neoconservatives and Democrats) should not have anything to do with another. One side are mass-murderers and the other side are suppose to bring peace in the world!!! (Honestly, it is like the anti imperialism MEK inviting Pence and Giuliani as speakers. Something does not make sense).

 

Blinkin-Nuland had a major role in creation of Bush doctrine and executing it. And now continuing to execute that under this admin in State Department. And then all of a sudden Democrat Neocons are kind of being formed. And by this virtue I think we are seeing once again the criss cross of the 50s and 60's of the two parties.

 

You cannot be, you cannot have, you cannot believe in Democratic values and yet be in bed with Neocons. Unless you don't believe in those values anymore. It is like, let's fuck everyone in support of virginity. And that is why we are seeing some of those who believe in those values parting from Biden. Hence, Biden's falling popularity since 1/20/21. We always talked about the division within the US political system (Dems and Reps) but now we are seeing a division within the Democratic Party. 

 

But that goes to the fact Shahin made about continuity of foreign policy set by the establishment, and execution of that policy, admin by admin. I 100% agree with that fact. That is how USA foreign policy works. (Trump coming in as an Outsider distracted that and kind of altered that continuity temporarily for 4 years, but once again on track now). But my belief is that America cannot become the ultimate economic superpower some of us want to see through these wars. There are other ways. When we look at America of post Bill Clinton, it does not look as great.

 

About Biden and in general about any President the best way to evaluate them is to give score on what things they promised to do vs how many of those were achieved. As simple as that. Those report cards are available online.

 

As an analogy, I see Biden as Hasan Rouhani, as opposed to Ahmadinejad (GWB) within the neocon system. Yeki khoshk khoshk mikoneh yeki beh ghole rashtiha (Avvel vasineh baadan fooghayeh). I am sure Bardia and shahin can translate. 😀

 

And for those who do not understand the above and find the stuff way over their head, the rest of the stuff (healthcare, taxes, immigration, gun control, and...) will always remain unresolved as campaign subjects, for simple minds to masterbate with every 4 years. All throughout their life. Specially at the age we are at. Every 4 years we have to see who is going to give us the best healthcare. 🙂
