The United States political system has bankrupted Americans, put them in constant danger and has made the US one of the most mistrusted and despised countries in the world, political analyst says.
“What does it mean that trust in American politicians is at an all-time low? It means that trust in the American system of governance is at an all-time low. Though some may see this as a negative, I see this as a necessary awakening. No Americans should trust in this system, for it does not represent them, and does not serve them. In fact, it bankrupts them, puts them in constant danger and has made this country one of the most mistrusted and despised in the world right now,” Linh Dinh told Press TV on Sunday.
"Take the recent attempt to attack Syria. It is put on hold for now, and many Americans are congratulating themselves for having stopped this suicidal attack, an attack that would certainly have destroyed America itself, not just Syria. Though I applaud Americans for speaking up on this issue, their voices did not stop the attack. The Obama administration did not attack because there was dissension within it. Even its military and the lapdog media showed signs of being against this direct confrontation with Russia, for an attack on Syria is an attack on Russia. If there was a clearer consensus among the American ruling class, they would have attacked already, no matter what ordinary Americans had to say. Americans were against the attack on Iraq and Libya also, and that didn’t stop Washington from destroying those countries."
A new poll has revealed that Americans’ trust in US political institutions and in US politicians is near historic lows.
The Gallup poll also found that Americans' trust in the federal government to handle domestic and international problems, their trust in the news media, and their trust in the three branches of the federal government and in state and local governments are all at or near historical lows.
The survey, conducted Sept. 5-8, indicates that just 46 percent of Americans trust the "men and women … who either hold or are running for public office," which is only one point above the historical low of 45 percent in 2011.
“So the way to move forward is for an overwhelming majority of Americans to wake up to what’s really happening, and reject both of the political parties that are supposedly representing them. I’m not sure this can happen soon enough to save America from itself, or the world from this clearly insane country, but the 46 percent of Americans that still trust their politicians is way too high. That’s sad, really. Given the appalling track record of American politicians, a bunch of lying psychopaths, no Americans should trust their politicians. Not until this entire system is revamped,” Dinh added.
