Sorry to be honest, but this is my view...
Voting between two parties, and then getting whatever the "electors" pick. All the while, thinking they live under the biggest democracy of the world.
Having all sorts of inhuman behaviors, like robbing childs from immigrants.
Child marriage.
Having lots of weapons in the country but all wars outside.
Mmm.. What else? Ah, prisoners are slaves.
I would burn the entirety of Ohio down in order to have more parties, I hate voting for the lesser of two evils, I've been doing it my whole life. Hardly feels like a democracy.
You know Donald Trump lost the 2016 popular vote, and George Bush lost the 2000 popular vote? ~~The last republican president to win the popular vote was George HW Bush in 1989 lol~~. Bush won reelection in 2004, my bad.
I'd go into the rest of the points, but you get it. It's a country for the rich
George W Bush won the popular vote in 2004
You are very right, my bad. To be totally fair, by .7%. I'll edit!
