“The electoral system in the United States is archaic, it does not meet modern democratic standards, creating opportunities for numerous violations, and the American media have become an instrument of political struggle,” Zakharova told Russian news agencies.

Can you imagine the laughter that must ensue whenever the U.S. sanctimoniously sends election observers to Third World sh!t-holes?

Well, the American media are certainly tools of the DNC. Almost without exception.

Wonder if Nancy is still unhappy with Wolf for not falling in line 100%?

Other than a relative handful of potentates, the US could LEARN A LOT from the voting systems of other countries. Even Mexico’s system is now FAR SUPERIOR to ours.

...but it doesn’t matter anymore as the Dems love the system, just the way it is, and they will never change it.
