Trump, Netanyahu, and Zelensky have proven that the so-called democracy in the West does not exist, and the so-called Western electoral system is a failure.
The Western electoral system requires candidates to obtain the majority of votes, representing the democratic will of the vast majority. Theoretically, this is reasonable. But many behind-the-scenes manipulations exist.
First, candidates need to gain enough attention, striving for the support of various ethnic groups, skin colors, religions, and genders. Candidates usually use media campaigns to present themselves as representatives of public opinion, trying to make themselves known to as many people as possible. This process requires substantial funds, and capitalists provide support to candidates. Then the question arises: after winning the election, will candidates consider the interests of the general people or the interests of the capitalists?
We can see that after these candidates win, they work for their own and the capitalists' interests and usually do not fulfill their campaign promises. When voters find that rulers break their promises or enact laws that harm their interests, they start gatherings and protests, which are merely an emotional outlet and have no substantial effect. Candidates from other parties start campaigns and criticize the government, and voters begin to turn to other parties. In the next election, other parties gain power, shift all the responsibility and mistakes to the previous government, and a new cycle begins.
A term in office is only 4-5 years, and before the term ends, laws can be signed to exempt oneself from any legal responsibility. Honestly, if I were the president of the United States, I would also use similar methods to earn enormous profits. These risk-free enormous profits are very tempting; only Biden and other presidents did it secretly, while Trump did it openly.
These countries lack strong supervisory mechanisms. Even more shocking, these countries surprisingly do not require candidates to have political experience or a resume. Can a comedian manage a country well?
Such inexperienced and capricious rulers will drag a country into a quagmire or hell.
These countries have already lost the opportunity for reform; vested interests have no intention of making any changes. Capitalists can transfer assets to other countries and continue to enjoy a wealthy life, while the majority who stay behind suffer.
In any country, workers and peasants constitute the majority, while capitalists and vested interests are a tiny minority. If a regime only considers the interests of that tiny minority, then this regime essentially has no democracy.
