If you look from a foreginer's perspective, American elections are ridiculous. Two parties is not a democracy. Voting without an id, through obscure voting machines, then the superdelagates and lobbying. Even some Latin American countries (known for their corruption) have more transparent elections.

Funny how Americans see lobbying as something normal. It should be illegal that representantives listen to anyone other than the People they represent. Here in my country the government gives an equal amount of money to parties so they can spend on their campaigns. Lobbying is illegal. Elections here are still shit, but I can't imagine how worse they would be with legal corporate lobbying.

They are ridiculous. The entire system is built to keep the establishment in power whether that is democrat or republican.
