According to the Associated Press on March 5, the prelude to the 2024 primary election in the United States has kicked off, because in this "Super Tuesday", 16 states and 1 overseas territory in the United States have conducted the party primaries of the United States' ** candidates, and "Super Tuesday" is the day that determines the direction of one-third of the votes of the Democratic and Republican parties. So far, the "Super Tuesday" votes have passed the halfway point, and the results show that Biden has won the party primaries in 13 states, and Trump has won the island primaries in 11 states. Judging from the current election situation, Biden's approval rating is still far ahead in the party when the Democratic Party has no successor. Trump's biggest rival DeSantis has announced his withdrawal, and Trump's only rival is Haley, the former U.S. representative to the United Nations, but Haley's approval rating is only a fraction of Trump's.
This shows that Trump and Biden lack strong challengers in the party, and the next United States will basically compete between these two "old men". At the moment, although Biden and Trump have achieved good results. But this is not the final result, judging by the specific vote data, Trump wants to become the ** candidate of the Republican Party at least until March 12, and Biden has to wait until March 19 at least.
However, this year's "Super Tuesday" was not as vigorous as it was before in the United States. The party's primary election before the United States has always been full of drama and conflict, and this year is a little boring, because before the primary election begins, most voters already know the direction of the results, and most of the Americans believe that the results of this year's party primary have been determined, and the election is only for procedural justice.
But it's worth mentioning that this election may be more inclined to Trump. Because the day before "Super Tuesday", the U.S. Supreme Court rejected the ruling of some Democratic-controlled states to cancel Trump's participation in the party primary, and the federal court's dismissal gave Trump a key victory when entering the party primary.
However, it is precisely because of the almost fixed candidate candidates that this has also given rise to the dissatisfaction of the American people with this year's **.
The U.S. News & Welt published a critical article saying that in a poll in January this year, more than two-thirds of respondents in the United States said they did not want to see this year's United States ** still Biden vs. Trump, because this will lead to American voters not choosing the most satisfactory candidate in their hearts, but who seems to be not so bad, which is not in the interests of the American peopleIt will only disillusion the "beacon of democracy" in the United States.
What's even worse is that this election is no longer just a difference in the attitude of the government, but the election in the United States has dragged from "rationality" to "emotion", and from "political differences" to "crowd antagonism". Because whether from the Democratic Party or the Republican Party, the current form of obtaining votes is no longer a promise of future governance, but has become a pandering to a specific group of people, and using this pandering sentiment to launch an attack in the competition, which is vividly reflected in the United States in 2020, such as a series of political and judicial encirclement and suppression of Trump after Biden was elected.
If Trump succeeds in entering the White House this time, it will inevitably be met with a strong pushback from Trump. This series of phenomena shows that the United States is already developing in the direction of populism, which will hijack the American electoral system.
In addition to this, there are similar views in the academic community in the United States. It is believed that the "primary" before the United States has been out of the category of "democracy", because this is to let a small group of people in the United States decide who will be the candidate, that is to say, all citizens of the United States have not participated in the process of deciding who can become the candidate, which has become a typical feature of the United States, in other words, providing candidates for the United States can only represent the interests of this small group of people.
It is precisely for this reason that two-thirds of Americans do not want to see the "Biden vs. Trump" competition again, which further reduces the enthusiasm of the American people for the United States this year.
In addition, as with the decision of the United States' *** candidate, in this party primary, 80% of the congressional districts will also be decided in this primary, because these districts themselves are either leaning towards the Democratic Party or Republicans. Therefore, the American academic community believes that although the United States is called the "beacon" of democracy in the world, in fact it is still in the category of a minority ruling the majority, and the election is just a procedural justice, and does not really represent the choice that the American people want.
Behind the so-called "democratic system" in the United States, in fact, there are various interest groups, for example, the main interest groups behind the Republican Party are the military-industrial complex and the industrial capital aristocracy, and behind the Democratic Party is mainly the financial capital group headed by Wall Street. And these industries are relatively developed industries in the United States. So in essence, the United States is nothing more than a rotation between different interest groups.
