    The only clear lesson here is that America needs a democracy overhaul. Ending national elections with exactly half of voters being angry and depressed is not going to get us ANYWHERE.

    There will be no progress if this continues.

    Fuck the two-party system.

    Fuck BOTH political parties, which are both evil, both anti-democratic, and both entirely anti-American.

    • As a thought experiment, I'm trying to imagine 1) the US using the Westminster system, 2) having, say, 5 mainstream parties, and 3) facing a hung parliament.Continuity
    • And the only result of this thought experiment always comes back to lots of shooting.
      The US isn't mature enough for this system.      Continuity
    • Mature in years? Because Canada does it just fine.nb
    • Wouldn't be mature enough for a parliamentary republican system, either.Continuity
    • Mature in mentality.Continuity
    • I've thought this for years. However, changing this would require people to come together and be open-minded... That seems like an insurmountable task now.aslip
    • Neither party has the will or desire to change the status quo.utopian
    • ^ The have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo, in fact.

    • should Canada declare war to USA, invade them and force feed them democraty? lolBennn
    • Canada should probably stfu until it solves it's own problems.nb
    • The setup sucks, but in order to have a democracy you need to have at least 2. If everyone agrees then its a single party... and we all know where that goes.toemaas
