Wow, took me 25 years in USA to learn how the USA 2-party media and congress works and I still have fun with C-SPAN (that is not CNN, but C-SPAN, many have a hole in the head at those points) Great stuff, as little time should be wasted on such idiots although they are deeply embedded in USA culture and history, since the late 1700s, although that is more than 300 years ago. Especially as very few have claimed 2-party adversarial systems have been rational since even long before the 1600s. Especially after the telecom act of 1996, bless Newt, Murdoch and Hustler, what else could one wish for. Btw, what is your weekly exposure to C-SPAN??? (OK, they learned not to talk about 2-party idiots after some few months long time ago, but they still do their best for especially idiots)

On the ignore list, how many are the subjects of really and trully true 2-party systems and medias?? Why does not even UK have a real goody-goody-2-party system? What about those mexican sweather canadians, which still struggle?? And then all the rest of the world?? better on ignore?? Due to regular superior ignorance?? (me would be very happy with some exceptions to that clearly 99.99%rule with room for some 25,000 americans) That is, me too would put somthing like 00.01% on ignore, if I would be in a real dilemma.
