You’re speaking of small countries. Both in population and land mass.
Big difference imho.
My best friend lives in Germany. Most of the time I wish I did too.

I also think it is more easy to run a small country.
But in the end it should not make that much of a difference.
Because countries with a high population density (as the Netherlands for example) have their own specific problems as well.

I never understood why a country so diverse as the US, did not change their political system along the way.
More like the German, Dutch and Scandinavian system with more different parties, a prime minister and a more ceremonial head of state.

In any case, it prevents you from getting "but he/she had more popular votes" anymore.
And there are more flavors to choose from.
Also political parties are forced to cooperate and make coalitions. That way you have lesser chance for extremist outcomes.
The countries mentioned belong to the richest, safest and happiest countries worldwide. And some of them like Denmark, the Netherlands and Germany have almost no natural resources that made them rich (like for example the Arab countries or Russia)
That must almost mean that there is a link between the type of political system and the socio-economic conditions.

because some renamed the country to The United States of Corporate America without telling us.

it happened right around 19RonaldReagan.

You don't see the failure of the two party system

So you prefer to waste your vote on a write in or Libertarian candidate.


Check your Constitution. You actually live in a country where voting is a right, not a privilege............At least for now anyway.

If you vote for anyone other than Biden, you are voting for trump.

You don't see the failure of the two party system? A debt spiraling out of control causing inflation to devalue the dollar. Voting for either party is just a vote for one and the same just a different wrapper. Spending most money of any nation for the Military that only adds to the "war machine". "Whenever any form of government becomes destructive to liberty, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to agree to such governance as to them seem most likely to protect their liberty." Quoted from Libertarian Platform.

You’re going to have to save your country before you can fix it. To save your country you absolutely must vote for Biden.

It really is that simple.

I think you have been missed something. Those are big words that certainly need scrutiny. Spike claims the debt only increases inflation and shows graphs on his podcast that chart this process. Now, I'm not sure if you have included Sociological statistics in your computation but he has plenty of them. Government restrictions directly affect the cost of services provided. Healthcare costs have skyrocketed over the past few years is just one example. We have more homeless every day and no one can help because of the Government restrictions. The list goes on and on and everything needs more scrutiny directly no doubt. We just have to find what's best.

So name calling is one of trumps bad behaviors. And you seem to need to do the same. You are just one of the reasons I will vote republican. Have you went to bidens site and read the platform he is running on. If you have and still plan on voting biden, you might be the problem.

can you list one (1) of Trumpys* good behaviors?
