Yes, well, as those great 20th century American philosophers, Paul Simon and Arthur Garfunkle wrote, "A man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest."

And many Americans do this as well in astroturfing efforts. Internal misinformation, external manipulation, it all sucks. It's the bourgeoisie playing with us like we're pawns in a massive game of chess.

Sure, American media is owned by a select few media ventures. However, that does not give folks the right to dismiss whatever they say out of hand. Anyone good at researching a topic would know that you have to get your information from a bunch of sources and try to read past any detected bias to get good info out of it.
That is to say, the corrupt nature of the American media can only go so far to excuse media illiteracy.

So you complain about the lack of a proper leftist party... while plugging the more unambiguously right-wing candidate as the better one. Huh.
Also Trump couldn't even get 50% in 2016, and is arguably less popular now than he was then. So not sure how you see him getting a result like that.
I only go for leaders whose policies are good for their nation and good for me.
