If france is anything like the UK, I’m sure there are many ways for the capitalist class to exert influence over their choice of candidate.
I mean, if you count the (registered) non-voters, which I think is more than fair considering the fact that Harris and Trump only represent a fraction of the (electorally viable) politics expressed in the US, Trump only scrapes about 46%.
The American political system has been designed to disenfranchise as many people as possible. Some ways are overt, like disenfranchising and deregistering black, ethnic, and imprisoned citizens (the latter don’t even count towards that 54%!). How about the ways democrats and republicans explicitly outlawed “third” parties such as PSL, Greens, Libertarians on some state ballots?
Less overt ways are how most of the American electoral process is carried out during the working week, with zero affordance to workers to vote unless by post (inherently less secure) or by the altruism of their bosses. Disabled and elderly people are simply ignored if they wish to vote in person.
Then the final way Americans are disenfranchised is the simple act of alienation of the political class from the working class. No matter who won in November, most of these crises would be playing out in some form.
Elon may accelerate some of the rot, but oligarchs have had direct control of the American political system for its whole existence. American bombs would still be raining across the middle east, the Ukrainian war would be unjustly spilling blood in the name of empire, abortion would still be illegal across most of the US, and the govt would do nothing to challenge spirally costs of living for workers.
“can i run the government?”

I see. that makes more sense, thanks!
So what is being teleported? The state of the two entangled particles?
I tried to ask deepseek the top Qs as a test but it seems to be down rn :(
they usually outsource any of the menial tasks to people in the global south. I work with someone who had a startup dating app where they used “AI” to match couples, but it was actually just a university student in Indonesia who they paid to do 8 hour stints sorting people’s profiles manually.
The American conservative movement has become pretty adept at martyring people without actually needing them to die to be fair. Kyle Rittenhouse is a prime example.
“But they’re just TV shows” “it’s not that deep” etc. I would implore you to listen to this excellent episode of Citations Needed..
It covers how modern cop shows were invented directly to counter shows that portrayed defence lawyers as the protagonists, along with a general push to lionize the police state despite its inability to prevent crime or deliver real justice.
Pretty much spot on, though that is the exact point of these kinds of shows.
It was part of a wave of shows launched to counter the media perception of incompetence in law enforcement/prosecution. They pushed a bunch of dangerously misleading (or even outright fake) claims such as the reliability and accuracy of forensic evidence which has been later used in actual court cases to imprison innocent people.
As always, Citations needed has done a brilliant job on this kind of stuff that’s worth a listen.
I’ve become so averse to this kinda branding to the point where I’d just prefer them to use a translated version I can’t read and some tiny English for anything important.
I’m not scared of kanji! If you’re gonna lean into Asian languages for your marketing just use the damn languages properly!!!
