Yay!

Not really. American politics is a really good example of why parliamentary systems work. No one fucking pays attention here. The independents just run back and forth on a seesaw expecting it to balance one day. Dems in power and shits fucked up: vote republican. Republicans in charge and the bank evicts you: vote Democrat. Why do people wonder why things don’t get done? We have two options and people vote based on emotion instead of paying attention.

Gross over simplification but I've now been through enough election cycles where I was paying attention to notice a definite pattern. Sample bias because I know some history prior to my eighteenth birthday, I'm just cynical about the "blue wave."
