Nice, you even have a token irrelevant politician without any power, perfect to use as example that all is allowed in the free US of A.

I'll reply with a few actual examples of what I mean:

I think western propaganda is overall the cleverest, because it manages to completely marginalize and silence any non-aligned opinion, while at the same time convincing you that you are completely free to have said opinion.



Why do you think anything you've just linked is at all related to this conversation? A system must be perfect to be good? That's an insane bar that is not the actual standard.

And if you think a US representative is powerless then you completely fail to understand how the US government actually works.
