Reply #3: Is it really that much different from the "democracy" in the US? [View All]

Unelected corporate donors and party elites have the same power as the Iranian religious councils. They decide who can run and who cannot through the distribution of money.

In Iran, candidates who can't get the Islamic council support can't run....

In the US, candidates who can't get corporate or high donor support can't run.....

Voters in both "democracies" have their choices restricted to only those who meet the approval of some unelected group....
