It's funny:
You have the so called supreme leader who calls all the shots.
Then you want to make it look like you are dem, I say democratic, so you whip up this nonsense president figure and give him some limited discretionary power.
Next, you develop the reformist vs hardliner crap, pick a guy who's basically a mass murderer and pin him against the "refromer".
Then comes the election day and people flock to the polls to pick the guy who is going to opress them a little less than the murderer.
You're right, of course.
However, funnier yet, under the direction of the lifetime, unelected almighty Islamist fascist Führer, the very same scenario is dusted off every “election” cycle with a new cast of supercharged- villains and the lone reformed former villain acting as the kinder-gentler underdog villain.
