    It always amazes me that, in more than just America, so many people are convinced by people like Trump.

    There might not be the one perfect system but it should be allowed to modernize some flaws to prevent exactly this and allow more parties to exist.

        Indeed part of the reason the current Israeli government is so radically right is that Netanyahu kept having to find more desperate and less morally-centered parties to make a coalition government with.

      Definitely a lot of biases but I’ve never met anyone outside the US that even remotely likes Trump. I think the world really sees your presidency as a total joke. But I mean Bush Jr… twice.
