Etit: hope not to start a struggle session, but is cornel west a good candidate? He seemed miles above recent mainstream US politicians to me (keep in mind I’m not Amerikkkan, fortunately)

They love the Constitution’s baked-in oligarchy, only rich white males had any power originally, and still do in reality.
