An observation...
I was going to post this in the Hillary for Veep but decided it was a threadjack and wanted to see this as a thread on its own...
Please don't read this as an attack on the American system. It isn't. It comes from the fact that Canada has just been through a Federal elections... it took all of 38 days from election called to election day. Little fuss or muss and it's over.
The US system is just so painful and drawn out... It seems that you are perpetually on the campaign trail. It makes me wonder just how any governance gets done.
The Hillary thread (and others) are rife with talk of "hatred" and "partisan politics". It is amazing to me that the wheels of your nation keep spinning. Listening to the rhetoric it always seems there is a civil war just brewing on the horizon.
Thankfully your two party system favours a national approach to policy. If it were to ever fall into regionalism that civil war would quickly come into focus...
