The political back and forth between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris is just a distraction, a charade, a front; just a pretension they're fighting about something. To validate this phony pretenses, the election is then strategically framed within "The lesser of two evil" paradigm. Donald Trump, from the Republican party, is presented to the public as the malevolent effigy that you are supposed to fear and despise. Kamala Harris, representing the Democrat party, is the good guy who presumably has the American people's best interest at heart. When you listen to their politics, it gives the impression that there's no contiguity in their juxtaposition, but even if there isn't it doesn't matter--not to the power-that-be no, it doesn't. The "lesser of two evil" argument will lead to choosing for a progressively greater evil being in power. Essentially what you're choosing, is just whether you want to be eaten by a pack of wolves or a clan of hyenas.

The reality is that one is no more and no less evil than the other. Neither one is supposed to challenge the status quo--and that's all it matters. Republican and Democrat both have to serve and answer to the same power structure--the real power. The only difference between the two is one ware a MAGA hat and the other waves a rainbow flag, but both work for the same genocidal and tyrannical power. American political system has been relegated to a two party nightmare. This is done deliberately to herd the populace into two power-serving political factions, so it doesn't matter which faction you subscribe to. Either way the real power wins. The fact that the people have been left to make a choice between to evils should serve as a reminder that what you have been sold as a democracy is just a make-believe.  

The corporate media--the main tool of the power-that-be--is then used to create and spew narratives to shape public perception and opinions. The public's enthrallment with the electoral spectacle bamboozle them into think voting, and who they vote for, is the answer to their problems. They don't understand that the people running this country are not the people they voted for in past elections, or the ones they will be voting for in November 2024 election. Who you vote for makes a difference only to you. The power-that-be doesn't care who you vote for. The whole political system was hijacked a long time ago by corporate economic imperialists, who wield unprecedented power and influence in politics. They have been--longer than most people think--tempering, interfering, manipulating and even rigging elections in seven continents. So what makes you think that they would not do it (or have not done it) right here in this country? And why do they do it? Well, because they don't think the citizens can be trusted to effectively safeguard the interest of the elite...unless, of course, they hand-pick such candidates who would be amenable to their dictates. I doesn't matter to them what political party the candidates represent. The line between the left and the right political poles is today more hazy than ever. You just don't get to be president of the United States unless you're ready and willing to sign your name to every single evil deeds and nefarious dealings of the empire; then think about the caliper of a person willing to do that when you're ready to cast your vote for one or the other. The power-that-be will continue uninterrupted with its domestic and worldwide nefarious dealing regardless who's turn is to occupy the White House.

Here's what Henry Kissinger said when he was busy devising operation "FUBELT" to overthrow Chile's [democratically] elected President Salvador Allende, during the Nixon regime:

"I don't see why we need to stand by and watch a country go communist due the irresponsibility of its people. [These] issues are much too important for the Chilean voters to be left to decide for themselves."

On September 11, 1973, President Salvador Allende was overthrown and assassinated with the help of the CIA.

The outcome of the "election" will not be determined by democratic votes. Kamala Harris, for example, was not voted for; she's an appointed nominee without having to compete in the primaries, after that cadaver-on-string, named Joe Biden, fail apart right before our eyes. Do you still believe that is Democracy? Presidential election season always makes Americans a bit more crazy than at any other time. All their emotional investment in that fake electoral spectacle, induced by the mainstream press and their social media echo chambers, goes into their heads and gives the impression that it leaps off their brains whenever someone points out the futility of using electoral politics to change the dangerous trajectory of our nation. The well-manipulated voting spectacle serves only to reinforce the illusion that you live in a democracy, and they're counting on you to participate in it. No, this is not about democracy--we don't have democracy--this is about preserving the status quo.

"In 1956, I shall not go to the polls, I have not registered. I believe that democracy has so far disappeared in the United States; that no 'two evils' exist. There is but one evil party with two names, and it will be elected despite all I can do or say."

~W.E.B. DuBois~

The voting ritual every four years is for you--the citizens. You get to participate in an old ritual that has no real significance other than the piquant feeling you get from partaking in it. After that expensive electoral charade is over, you go home feeling important and good about yourselves for having exercised a symbolic act of patriotism. But that zesty feeling you get for having participated in that fantasy manufactured by the power that holds the whip with stern over your backsides, will remain with you only until reality sets in, and nothing changes. You find yourselves in the same predicament you were in or worse.

Understand this. Washington DC is a millionaire and billionaire donors' occupied territory. So what kind or how much democracy can you have, if DC is hijacked by those millionaire and billionaire donors? Corporate campaign "donations" or "contributions" are no such a thing--they are 'investments.' That is who the people you vote for answer to. They are held hostage by their donors, and so they write policies that would serve the interest of their donors--not yours. WAKE UP AMERICANS!
