Why is nobody beating this nonce to death in the streets with his own shoes?
It seems like the faction of the bourgeoisie controlling the media has fallen out with the part of the bourgeoisie controlling the president. Is this just over Genocide Joe's obviously cognitive decline or is there some other conflict underneath this sudden abandonment?
I hope he dies exactly when it is too late to replace him on the ballot and they have to let people vote for the dead guy
With a little bit of luck you can still get something quite similar from Trump
I don't know who control Iranian elections so I can't tell how plausible your theory is.
One could also see the election as an example of how the social conservatism of the more anti imperialist part of the ruling class becomes a security threat to Iranian society as it pushes people into the arms of pro-western liberals who promises to relax the reactionary religious policies but also wants to hand the country over to western capital. Iranian antiimperialists needs to understand that the insistence on unpopular morality laws is opening them up to attack from the west.
always put the country first
This can mean literally anything to anybody. And that is the purpose of it. It means absolutely nothing and commits sir Keith to absolutely nothing, instead it is a blank slate that people will fill in with whatever their idea of a good selfless politician is.
I hate to think of it, but none of this is going to deter a single libertarian briefcase nerd 30 years from now from gaslighting people about how Mileil created "an economical miracle".
To westoids, only the unconditional surrender of their adversaries counts as peace. Everything else is just

As so many other things in Angloid society the FPTP system is an anachronism that has been allowed to continue for far too long. The system arose at a time before modern communication, a unified national discourse and political parties existed, it was just the rich and important men of each locality who decided which of them should go to represent the community.
In many other places the FPTP system disappeared as mass media and organisations made it obsolete. By a struck of coincidence the shift away from FPTP often happened to coincide with emerging labour parties gaining traction and threatened to take the spot as one of the two large factions.
That shift never happened in the UK, for whatever reason. Maybe the British bourgeoisie found other ways to keep the threat of Labour at bay.
Since then the continued existence of this archaic system has moved reactionaries to invent all sorts of after the fact justifications for why it is good, like how it is important to represent each piece of land, how it is important to have a "local MP" or (this one is especially loved by authoritarian libs) how FPTP discourages "extremism" and promotes reasonable centrism.
Not all FPTP systems are bad though, the Soviet system of elections, one of the most democratic system of government, can be seen as a form of FPTP. It has some major differences from western FPTP systems though, class differences are eliminated, if they exist, political parties operate much more constructively than their western counterparts, representatives can be recalled and they are from the community.
Thank God I'm not that. I guess I must be cool instead.
