The United States has a simple and classic institutional framework.
The three powers are separated: Parliament, the President, and the Supreme Court, which are responsible for legislative, executive, and judicial powers.
For decades, driven by the powerful public opinion machine, the American model has been considered by many to be a model of top-level national design.
But a story is a story after all.
Model is relative, and this model is not without its shortcomings.
When establishing this system, the founding fathers did not have the wisdom to transcend time, leaving a fatal loophole.
The electoral process has insufficient normative design.
The first time many people really understood American elections was during the 2020 election.
It was also from this controversial election that many people realized for the first time that America is really not that perfect.
Not without American elites noticing the systemic flaws in the campaign process.
Historically, campaign-related patches have been made one after another.
But all programmers know that with every version update, new bugs will appear.
Sometimes when a patch is applied, a bunch of bugs will appear.
Bugs can be fixed slowly by writing programs, but fixing campaign bugs is too troublesome.
Over time, bugs in the election process have been fixed over and over again, but in the end they are not perfect.
All candidates for Congress and leadership in the United States will set up their own campaign support organizations.
Such as campaign committee, campaign office, etc.
But in addition to these legally permitted campaign auxiliaries, candidates also require some 'special' services.
They want to hire a professional team to do things that are inconvenient for them.
A gangster who only knows how to do rough work is obviously not qualified. At this time, Eris needs to appear.
Eris is not a native American. He comes from the western Balkans and grew up in a family of local energetic groups.
After the disintegration of Mao Xiong, in order to adapt to the ever-changing era of globalization, he chose to leave his hometown and go to the United States to learn advanced experience.
A motivated and energetic boy meets an America full of opportunities.
As an immigrant with a special background, he was not accepted by the upper class circles in the United States.
But opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.
With the help of his family's resources, at the age of thirty, he successfully helped his college classmate to be elected as a member of parliament in a certain place, and he became famous ever since.
Many candidates on the West Coast who are interested in serving the American people have heard of his name and are willing to believe in his successful experience.
This is also the case this time for a certain Republican candidate who is a strong-willed Republican.
He did not join that candidate's campaign office.
It's not that he doesn't want to join. In fact, he can provide much greater help to the candidate by being outside than by joining the campaign office.
"I like your idea, but I need to know where you're coming from, don't try to muddle through, okay?"
Eris sat on a chair in the cafe with his feet crossed. When he spoke, his beard moved with his lips, and paired with his sharp eyes, he looked extremely intimidating.
He pointed to his eyes and asked about the origin of Cheng Daqi.
Not frightened by Eris's question, Cheng Daqi replied calmly.
"Like I said, I'm from China, an illegal immigrant.
I'm just here to earn some money today, and I thought this idea might help you. "
There are tens of millions of illegal immigrants in the United States, and California is still a sanctuary state, with even more illegal immigrants.
In California, there is no legal risk in confessing one's illegal immigrant status, and Eris obviously will not threaten Daqi's personal safety for two thousand dollars.
"Illegal immigrants? Well, your point is indeed interesting, but it's not worth two thousand, and besides, no one else needs it except me."
Putting down the arm rubbing his beard, Eris started bargaining directly.
"Eight hundred dollars, this is the highest price I can accept."
"make a deal!"
Without a second's delay, Cheng Daqi agreed immediately.
Eris is different from Lisa, and the strengths and weaknesses of cooperation are also different.
As the leader of a team dedicated to serving candidates, Eris is not easy to deal with.
Maybe Cheng Daqi agreed too quickly, and Eris didn't react.
He even regretted a little bit, regretting that he still raised the price.
His expectation was 1,500 dollars to buy a hush money.
But now I can get it for 800 dollars, and I can get it without any counter-offer.
It gave him a strange feeling.
Looks like he was ripped off?
But it cost twice as much as the expected 1,500 yuan, so it didn’t seem to be considered a scam.
Ruzai.
Shrugging, Eris explained without too much entanglement.
"Don't talk about this point of view with anyone again, do you understand? After selling this point of view to me, it belongs to one of my clients, so don't cause any trouble for me."
Hearing Eris's words, Cheng Daqi frowned slightly and replied.
"When the sign was held today, ABC was doing the interview. I told the reporter again, will this have any impact?"
He didn't know that the so-called interview was a live broadcast, and ABC subscribers had already seen the entire interview on TV.
"Is it a live broadcast?"
Cheng Daqi's words made Eris' face darken.
Today's sign-raising is nominally in support of the Republican candidate for district council. If he operates it, it can be regarded as the candidate's views.
But doing so was not in line with Eris's ideas.
This explosive point of view needs to be sold to at least a certain representative or senatorial candidate. It will be a big loss if it is wasted on this idiot district congressional candidate.
"No, the reporter clearly told me no."
Shaking his head, Cheng Daqi replied.
“It’s okay if it’s not live broadcast.”
Eris smiled and spoke, but his smile was just a fake social smile.
"I have a lot of friends on the West Coast. I'll talk to people at ABC. You're a smart guy, do you understand me?"
Cheng Daqi took the money handed over by Eris and nodded in reply.
"I understand what you mean, add a bald eagle. If I have any such opinions in the future, I can come to you directly."
High-end connections don't appear out of thin air, so it's best to take advantage of them when you have the chance.
Chengdaqi never sits back and lets an opportunity pass him by.
"I like smart people, Chan."
After leaving the cafe, Cheng Daqi smiled at Sani who was waiting impatiently.
"Sani, I want to treat you to dinner and thank you for introducing me to the opportunity to make a fortune."
The black girl rolled her eyes. She a little despised the act of betraying the motherland for a big deal.
I am a homeless person, I have no fixed place to live, and I do not love my country.
But that doesn't stop me from despising my traitorous neighbors.
It doesn't affect eating.
As a homeless person, it is impossible not to be active in making a living.
However, before eating, Sani had a question that he really wanted to know.
"He really gave you two thousand? Would you betray the country for two thousand?"
The black girl's question was really impolite.
How can you curse someone in person?
Cheng Daqi answered dumbfounded.
"It only cost 800, but why do you think I'm betraying my country?"
"I just didn't go to school, it's not like I don't know anything!"
"Sani, you really don't understand."
Cheng Daqi turned on his phone and studied the bald eagle of Eris.
"Don't worry about it. Just choose a restaurant. Anything under fifty dollars."
Seeing the attitude of a master who doesn't take betrayal of his country seriously, Sani chose the restaurant viciously.
You are a traitorous piece of shit. I introduced you to make a daily settlement. After you finish the daily settlement, you will sell it and betray the country.
I want to eat it hard!
Her symptoms were exactly the same as Lisa's.
