    The more I learn about American politics, the more I think it’s the dumbest shit ever.

      Extreme politicians having more leverage, in situations where the lead of the majoritiy party is very thin, is actually very common in most democracies.

      The specific stupidity of the American democracy is the „winner takes it all“ rule which leads to a two party system.
