  It was, it may not have been a democratic election by your standards, but then again, the US elections are not democratic by mine. edit: hacker news, the only site where your candid opinion (an unpopular one, apparently) will get you modded down. Look here, if you think that the US has democratic elections I would suggest you have a long hard look at Sweden, which has a much less money and dynasty focused system, and which comes a lot closer to being truly democratic. Two parties are just as bad as one, especially when to foreigners those two parties are pretty much indistinguishable except op a few unimportant issues which seem to be added just to polarize the voters. I'd like to point at my own country but unfortunately they're currently not the best example.

    Every site will downmod a candid opinion it doesn't agree with. Reddit downmods my pro-ID and pro-Christian opinions.
