"The Communitarian Stalking Horses of the US Election" explores an intriguing aspect of political maneuvering in the United States.
The term "stalking horse" originally referred to a figure that serves to test a concept or masks someone else's intentions.

This phenomenon raises critical questions about the authenticity of campaign platforms and the implications for voter trust and policy implementation.
