Comments by "Persona" (@ArawnOfAnnwn) on "ELECTION FRAUD? The key points to the ASSAULT on the US CAPITOL - VisualPolitik EN" video.
The US doesn't officially have a bi-partisan system. Indeed, it actually has multiple 'third parties' - it's just that practically no one votes for them, cos they know neither party will ever win. But why is that? Because the real reason the US has a bi-partisan political landscape is thanks to employing one of the worst voting as well as districting mechanisms in the democratic world. First Past The Post (FPTP) voting is cancer. Politician-led districting is also cancer. There's no way to 'fix' the 'bi-partisan system', because there isn't any such rule to begin with. To fix it, you need to reform the voting and districting systems - and that's something neither party likes, because they both will lose out from it. Ironically, it's one of the biggest things both parties agree on.

@namejsliepins2577 To be clear, my districting bit was referring to gerrymandering. Redistricting ought to be handled by an independent election commission, using a set of standardized criteria nationwide. This is how it's done in many other democracies worldwide.

@RT804 Presidential systems are stupid. And the US ought to be a laughing stock whenever they claim themselves to be the "champions of democracy", since they have one of the worst democratic systems on Earth (FPTP voting, political districting, elected judges, a campaign financing mess, the list goes on...). Parliamentary systems are FAR FAR better. Parliamentary govt. doesn't address all of those aforementioned problems, but they're still better than Presidential. Very few other democracies are presidential.

Parliamentary systems are FAR FAR better. Parliamentary govt. doesn't address all of those aforementioned problems, but they're still a damn sight better than Presidential. Very few other democracies are presidential.
