And the two party electoral system in the US is dead as a door nail. The entire POTUS election cycle is a mockery of an open democracy.

Why are you using Soros watchwords like "open" when the electoral system was never intended to be such, and accordingly is not? If you were half the mythsmith your Jung copypasta would suggest, you would see that elections are a mythical construct in pursuit of particular social objects. Either you are a shitty mythsmith who is incompetent to do the work, or you are a fucking perpetrator shitlib trying to preserve the problem. Which is it?

As in - anyone who the oligarchs really don't want as POTUS will end up dead if they even happen to manage to win the primaries.
