My Rating: 5/5

As a Canadian, I am always interested when I hear about American politics, as a close neighbour AND A SEPARATE COUNTRY (no 51st state here), I wonder how a two-party political system benefits people. How do you decide who you stand with. What if the right, as it is now, is too far right, and the left is learning a way you maybe also don't agree with? Where is the middle ground? And how in the world did Americans not turn out for a vote that will have a forever impact on their country, their homes, their lives and the lives of their children? I can't claim to understand. But seeing some of the behind-the-scenes sparked my curiosity.  A reminder to Americans that we are not your enemy, we are your neighbours, your allies, but don't poke the bear.
