US Election TV Debates are an Absolute Sham
Do Americans seriously not realise this yet?
Every 4 years a US presidential election comes around, and each an every time all of the potential presidential candidates stand on that stage for the US electoral debates.
Everyone looks very professional, in their little suits and their cute little red and blue ties. They stand behind their podiums, gesture towards each other and make digs at each other.
One politician comes up with a nice “zinger” that really hits his opponent’s ego hard. It goes viral all over the internet and the American public cheer along, happy that their candidate one-upped their opponent.
And every 4 years I’m waiting for the American public to finally realise that their election debates are a complete sham from top to bottom. Every 4 years the American people watch a giant lie play out right in front of their face and do nothing about it.
The TV election debates are not free and open debates where anything can be discussed. Instead, they’re tightly controlled environments whereby the “debates” are strictly limited to an incredibly small number of topics.
Trust me. You won’t believe how deep the corruption goes.
