    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.

      More parties unfortunately does not fix the problem, as you can see by the rise of fascists in nearly all democracies worldwide.

        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.

        Still, I’m happier living in a country with a dozen parties than on with only two…

      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.
