    You said

    Trump is an idiot who doesn’t care and will do whatever makes him more money

    But you also said that the current president

    ...is just a figurehead and takes his orders from the powers that be: weapons manufacturers and their corporate shareholders

    Both of these things are just as bad, why do you think that a president doing whatever the arms companies want is better than a president doing whatever makes himself more money? Arguably I'd rather have a self interested guy in office than one who serves the blood god of the military industrial complex

      The president is just a figure head, it doesn't really matter who it is

      Unless it's bad president then they are worse somehow than the other figurehead that apparently has no agency also

      You’re missing the point. The problem that needs to be addressed is the control of the military industrial complex not the quality of the fucking president.

        OK how do we address that problem? Is voting blue going to do fuck all about it? No it's not.

        If both of the 2 options in your precious "democracy" are pro-genocide even though most citizens are anti-genocide then your "democracy" is worthless and I don't care what happens to it
