You are not permitted to vote for whoever you want. That is why you are not like us. Iran is not a democracy by definition, because you can be overruled by unelected leaders.

we've done revolution before, back in 1979. we don't need it again.
How does that change what i just said?

Me: Who should get to decide if a candidate is propagandist or the "best" one? You and the rest of the common people, or a bunch of unelected people in a dark room?

of course, those who know the rule of Islam should decide it. we can't judge people, they can.
That isnt democracy. They are effectively your aristocracy.

If you really believe what you are saying, why are you agitating for change at all? You just said that they know better than you...so why should you have a voice in government if that is true?
