That's a complete fantasy.
The problem with modern media is that we all live in our bubbles. It's a pity we don't have more of the old Republican posters here but there are still some around and this is maybe the only place I even here first hand their views. That may cause some upset when people start shouting at each other but getting exposed to other opinions has to be a good thing.
Over here we have had 2 referendums on Scottish independance and leaving the EU and if you were sitting there looking at my social media then you would think that both would have gone a different way than they did by about 90%. When the people outside their bubble kick ass then it's such a shock to the system it even feels like a conspiracy theory. 'How could that happen, everyone I know thinks differently'.
Older people vote, young people don't. There is a good chance that Trump will win the presidency and you will be left scratching your head thinking how could that happen?
A BI partisan committee decides who is allowed to speak in your presidential debates. It's a wonderful manipulative use of language.
Instinctively it implies some sort of fairness, even handedness and so on when in your system it means the exact opposite.
There is no way they would ever let the Greens or Libertarians into the debates, given that you seem to follow all this stuff I'm amazed you could still be so naive - again it's the bubble...
