I don't think US elections are terribly real either. You get whoever the Republicans want or you get whoever the Democrats want. If you don't want either of those and vote for someone else you risk your least preferred candidate winning. You don't get to decide who runs.

I'm not saying I like Russia and China but you can't claim that their actions in anyway justify what the US does.

Also just because this post is about the US it doesn't mean the other atrocities aren't happening. Do we have to mention what China and the US are doing whenever the Ukraine war is brought up? Seems like a bit of a silly argument really
