Half of Americans did not vote for either party. Both parties were voted for by a 1/4 of the population individually. We pretend this is a problem when, in actuality, both parties want to maintain this status quo. Having a population politically apathetic makes the bourgeois command of the system easier to maintain.

Trump has a low approval rating and it would be not different under Clinton. Both are Liberal politicians with complete disregard for the population. Have you even heard of the kind of crap Trump's daddy did?

At least China can boast an optimistic future and population with their Socialist market economy, grassroots system (allowing common participation in the runnings of the state), and plan to fully eradicate poverty by 2020 as is the purpose of the current 5 year plan. America can not boast this.

The Communist Party of China does as it says.

The Democratic Party and Republican Party say a lot of crap and do nothing.

80% of Chinese trust their system. 50% of Americans didn't even vote.

Why is this?

The legitimacy of the Chinese Communist Party is dependent on serving the people and guiding the nation to prosperity. Of the falling poverty rates, almost 800 million of that can be attributed to Chinese Socialism. The legitimacy of American parties depend on lobbies and protecting the interests of the rich.

Why and how is Trump any different from any other American politician? Why should I consider him the international representative of the American people when only 1/4 of us even voted him in?

I mean who else is it going to be? Clinton lol

This would apply exactly the same to Clinton.

They are both Liberal politicians.

Rightists.

if its not the president then who would be the international representative of the American people?

the ambassador?

I guess he technically is lol

Our will does not exist if only 1/4 of us said it.

The will of the people does not exist in America.

We have no legitimate international representative.

The hearts and minds of the people are not of the American government or American system.

I dont think 3/4 voted for Clinton

50% didn't vote.

well thats their damn fault lol

they had their chance xd

Most of them were busy working or felt betrayed by the system.

busy working? nah

Betrayed by the system? Perhaps

But they did get a chance to vote for a 3rd party. Maybe if that 50% gained up on Trump and Clinton they actually could have elected a 3rd party

Would a third party be any different.?

depends what you're talking about

The Libertarians are the next biggest ones and they are of the same caliber as the Republicans.

I mean there are left libertarians, not as much tho

Russia's elections happen on a sunday when all work is out and no one is busy.

America's on work days.

yeh but its not DURING work

Yes it is.

wym, its at night

unless if you are a loser that works the nightshift at mcdonalds

If it's at night, that is just as bad.

It is during the day though.

Alabamite.

Depends where you were voting I guess? I know the east coast went first at around like 5

actually more like 6

I'm from Alabama.

so when did you vote m8

I didn't personally vote.

I actually heard you could vote 32 days before the actual election

We live right beside the church where you are supposed to anyway so we are hardly under time contraints.
