      As an American, I agree. The common joke is that we’re living on the worst time line (a Community reference).

      It’s the world’s most powerful military and largest economy, unfortunately for the rest of the world, we’re fucking nuts too.

        Hey, don’t sell us short! We also tend to be ignorant and uneducated.

      First past the post inevitably converges to a 2 party system, with all the frustrations that brings.

      You see it as well in UK, Hungary, Turkey, …

      Be carefull whenever someone suggests: the prime minister/president/… should come from the biggest party. It can take a few election cycles, but it ends up with a 2 party system, as that’s the dominant strategy.
