American politics for nonAmericans

[bhsup]

I find American politics incomprehensible and their voting procedures ludicrous. How is it possible to take a whole YEAR to figure out who won an election -- and then have it decided by the winner's brother?

John Kennedy won fair and square!! I don't care what those mobsters in Chicago say, there was no hanky panky going on in the 1960 election. HIs brother Bobby had nothing to do with it.

how so. 10 characters.

Your conservatives are gun-totin' Bible-bashin' yee-haw neo-frontiersmen, whereas ours are tea-drinkin' grammar-schoolin' hoity-toity quasi-gentlemen. I rather prefer ours, but yours are more interesting.

Do you like reading, participating in, and starting threads about American politics?

I am interested, but I really don't care about minor issues in the American politics, it's usually trivial and boring, like anywhere else.

I enjoy all politics since it is sometimes with certain people an intellectual sport.

There are no Americans or non-Americans. There are only people!

There is no black or white, there are only colors!

And that makes it ok, that both sides have done it? Your system needs some work

Usually not, usually because of the extreme right wing views that are posted.

I'm American and I enjoy it because I have no life so I decided to spend my time bashing my head into brick walls.

I'm somewhat of an American political junkie. Its my course of study, many of my formal employment experiences have been based around it, I discuss it and joke about it for fun, etc.

I find foreign politics also interesting, but not as much, because I don't really have a stake in the outcome. Its hard to appreciate the subtle parts of the game from afar.

Here? Discussing politics is sometimes fun, sometimes *bangs head into wall*
