Choice is what makes a democracy. In a true democracy, all groups should have equal access to run for office. A group of genocidal Zionists, and a group of peace loving hippies should have equal access and the citizens votes should decide. Even if Dr. Stein somehow won, she would never be allowed in office. The electors from the electoral college wouldn’t let it happen, or the CIA would just shoot her. We live in a totalitarian plutocracy that trot out a couple of actors every 4 years, to pretend like the citizens have some say in what happens.

Yup, sometimes literally... like Ronnie Raygun.

It's the price of Empire; being internally oppressed for the sake of the 'greater goal' of successfully oppressing others.
