From "Key Vote" to "President Killing Bureau", it shows the fun of the old American electoral system. Rightist, leftist, centrist, Grandpa Sanbi, everyone has to please everyone. The choice is private, and the face has to be justified. Otherwise, Grandpa will take it away from you immediately. You won’t have your share of this round of the game. Just wait for another four years. Do you think the elites were selected? In fact, it is not. The film also hints that the candidates who are fortunate enough to stay are no longer a clear soup and tender hairy belly, but they are packaged and fried by the team, and they are crispy and raw, and the taste is relatively acceptable.
Of course, Liu Yu's "In the Details of Democracy" said that "whoever is elected is almost the same" can be understood as a bad thing or a good thing... The phenomenon of "it is almost the same as whoever is elected" occurs, in fact, it is precisely the two parties. result of fierce competition. It is precisely because the two political parties compete to win a large number of "middle voters", their political views are increasingly "centralized", and finally, the political views of the two parties are firmly in a position that is favored by the majority of voters.

He defeated his competitors by a series of methods, such as keeping mourning in secret, covering his body with salted fish, and conferring death by arrogance. He also held a high official position. Of course, Zhao Gao played him later, but that's another story...
The rules of the game of the old beauty, the emperor and the courtier are very interesting.

If Li Si travels in time and space On the other side of the ocean, you must be cool, let alone go back to the farm with your son to lead the dog to hunt. You write a campaign memoir and give speeches to earn extra money to show off your kindness with government PR. Of course, as long as you don’t have any interest entanglements with some companies, Old beauty bothers about this.
