The view from afar...

You guys in the US don't *actually* live in a democracy.

Given that there have been at least two elections in recent times when the candidate that the majority of people - who bothered to vote - voted for did not actually win the election.

That is not a genuine democracy guys.

On top of that, the best that anyone can come up with to potentially lead a major Western country are two pale males who are so stale they would be mandatorily retired in any other sector in any other country.

The US political system is so f%$#d

Good luck guys!

Respectfully, your comment reflects an almost existential ignorance about the US political system. We have NEVER been a democracy; ours is a constitutional republic. Our presidential election isnтАЩt a popular national vote; it is a state-level vote to choose electors to an electoral college, which in turn chooses the president. And in our country, neither age, nor gender or race are disqualifying. We donтАЩt discriminate.
