It is so funny when Americans think that the election was fair and they had a choice. You have a kayfabe version of democracy.

It's hilarious when people think it is anything other than a 2 party system.

It is a kayfabe democracy. It has only oligarchical management, not democratic representation. No matter who wins the elections the policies are predetermined. Rooting for Kamala over Trump is no different than rooting for The Undertaker in Wrestlemania.
