For everyone it is massively infuriating. He had to prove he is innocent instead of the legal system needing to prove guilt.
If he was a CEO the prosecutor would be fired and charged with terrorism. If he was a billionaire it wouldn't matter if they had video committing the murder in 4K hed simply never be charged. The legal system is as far from being a justice system as it can possibly get.
America and the UK have political systems that don't care about facts or the people.
Both countries care about corporations and twisting the facts to keep the money and power right where it is.
Neither country have actual opposition.
Whether it's Republicans, Tories, Democrats or Labour, they are happy for the status quo to keep rolling. It keeps them all in power. Any change in voting systems to make things fair would harm their monopoly on the countries.
They will pretend to be different, but they really aren't. All four are right wing, just different levels of right wing.
I thought that maybe, a very very small maybe, there was a chance before, but not when the carrot won again and people around me can’t explain why they voted for him other than “Kamala bad”
I don’t care if you vote for the person I’m not, but at least be able to explain why without regurgitating Faux News.
They don't even pretend to be different at this point. There was no primary held for the democratic vote. And the candidate they were forced to vote for is a "centrist". What exactly is a centrist? Thats right, a right leaning democrat. So you end up with the exact same policies just with some fine print to win the minority vote. What a freaking joke. And voters are too busy playing find the racist, to actually even research their own candidates.
The thing to remember is all Democrats are right leaning. Just not as far right as Republicans.
Sure there's outliers like Sanders, but they're never letting him have a sniff of actual power, and we all know why that is.
Same reason they had to cut Jeremy Corbyn off at the knees with blatant lies over here. It would cause problems for the rich if they were to get in. And we can't have the rich not getting their way at our expense.
Eh, it's a bad cycle. Too many morons leads to bad politicians being elected, which results in shitty policies and laws, so the justice system degrades and you end up with convicted felons allowed to be presidential candidates.

For us, it is just midly infuriating, for him and his family a lot more than that.
