Honestly.
From all the things I hear about American politics, it sounds to me like the american government is pure **** no matter what way you look at it.

Of course this is only said as an outsider. So my opinion is worth **** .

As an American, I can confirm that our government is ****** , and none of our candidates are really good. We are going to go to **** whether a Democrat or a Republican take office, because both are just looking to shape the U.S. how they want it to be, rather than what would make it better. Except maybe Ben Carson. Maybe.

Yep, you got it. It's just a mess of **** slinging and nothing getting done.

The few people that genuinely care about government work and doing what they believe in either stop at the local level, get pushed out of official government positions altogether, or get corrupted by the money, power, and/or favor system.

Congratulations, you have a complete grasp of what our government is like. If the Dems are in charge, it's **** . If the Repubs are in charge, it's **** .

Vote for a third party?

Independents/Third parties generally are not popular or voted for, probably because "they ain't a Democrut or a Republicun"

The american government doesn't like change.

The Problems with First Past the Post Voting Explained I think this video does a good job of explaining why the American Two-Party system makes it nearly impossible for third parties to win.

Is that really how it works in America? In germany you need at least 50% of the people's votes to reign, so it makes it basically impossible for a single party to rule, so they need to form coalitions to govern.
One time that even went to the poit were Schröder thought he could still covern although he didn't get the majority of votes, because he didn't believe Merkel and Liberals would be able to coaliate.

Well in the States, we really only have the two parties. Sure there are other smaller parties, but they're mostly just jokes that don't have any representation in our government anyways. If you're a liberal, you're a democrat. If you're a conservative, you're a republican.
User avatar #110 to #103 - jouten (01/07/2016) [-]
So there's no way coalitions can form in the US? Like if liberals got 18%, Democrats 37% and Republicans 45%, the Liberals and Democrats can't make a coalition and form the rightful 55% vote government?

The liberals are the democrats. It's not that you have liberals, conservatives, republicans, and democrats. If you lean liberal on the political scale then you are a democrat. If you lean conservative on the political scale then you are a republican. There's no need for democrats to form a coalition with liberals because all of the liberals (<--Not a political party) are already democrats (<--A political party).
