    A paltry few Countries in the history of Civilization have gotten to choose their leaders. How lucky we are to be among them.

        This is a real choice? Between a nutcase racist, and a corrupt warmongering liar? This isn't a choice, it's a oligarchic sham.

        You could vote 3rd party (like I did), but our "first-past-the-post" voting system does favor two-party establishment @neiltyson

        if you're in a swing state, might as well wear a "Make America Great Again" hat when casting that vote.
