Fact is, this election is fake. Critical policy changes do not hang in the balance. It’s mostly meant as a show and the American state-run media are gobbling it up. The Supreme Leader of Iran, Ali Khamenei, pre-approves who is even allowed to run for president. The whole thing is a farce and too many Americans are paying attention like it matters.

Exactly. I remember all of the high hopes after Khatami won, back in 1997. What changed? Nothing.

Same thing here... replace "the mullahs" with Soros-et-al.
