Every two years the US votes for capitalists, then capitalist things happen, and people clutch their pearls as if this isn't precisely what they voted for.

No, that's ridiculous. Americans have a first past the post, winner take all, voting system. And we have an electoral college.

This means that Americans never vote FOR president. Then only ever vote AGAINST who they hate most of the two real candidates.
