This is how fucked up our roster of presidential candidates are. We have to choose between Woke Pinochet aka Raytheon’s useful idiot, a neoliberal parody of Duterte who wants to keep the status quo and forcing Americanization instead of Filipino solutioms for Filipino problems, the son of a literal dictator groomed by the PDP-LABAN crown princess, and a more based version of Bernie Sanders minus the lib capitalism, but with almost zero chances of victory.

This is why the left-wing Duterte supporters camp are torn between openly socialist candidate Leody de Guzman and PDP-LABAN appartichik and former dictator’s son Bongbong Marcos.

Most of the more authsoc Duterte supporters went with Marcos as the pragmatic path, being able to continue the friendship with Beijing Duterte started.
