A lot of people do not realize that Ross Perot could not have been elected the first time as he was not represented on enough ballots regardless, huge flaw in our system.
With that said he enjoyed immense popularity and had his daughter not got kidnapped midway through the election he would have taken even a larger chunk out of the voting population and placed a salvo over the bow of the two party machine.
Which brings us to where we are today. I cannot fathom on any level why on earth the people did not vote Libertarian as he was on the ballot in enough states to have a legitimate shot. If you want real change, you have to elect a third party, like it or not. I find it interesting how the leader of the free world has the least choices for president, that makes no sense. The more parties in the mix, the more dialog presented and the more it keeps the partys having to work for the people.
I also see a major problem in the Media itself. Trump got all the free media he could handle, as I believe it was Bill Clinton had said "Bad publicity is good publicity" It certainly worked.
The rag media outlets with zero journalistic integrity also undermined this election on a major level, the misinformation being tossed about by people unwilling to read a second, or even third opinion was staggering. That even goes to mainstream media itself, while I do think they hold a fairly high level of integrity, I realized in my early teens if I was supposed to hate Muslims, they were dressed in black robes, if I was supposed to like them, they were dressed in white I also realized I needed information from the places being talked about themselves, so the internet should be provided you the reader with the unprecedented opportunity to read from papers of respective countries where policies are concerned.
Being one of the most boring people on the planet I found myself watching the Brazilian Ag report on occasion for example. It is beyond important to keep a open, impartial mind in order to advance and call yourself a civilization.
I also see the general lack of understanding in Civics in general to be a legitimate problem in general.
I also agree with giving the President Elect a chance, while I sat down in August and wrote down what I liked about each candidate, I came up with ZERO for Trump, with that said he may shake things up as he is a legitimate wildcard for everyone, hopefully not in a 1935 sort of way. I think the current and previous administrations have meddled enough in "Democracy" so possibly we can go beyond that now and perhaps have more open business relationships.
I will also say this, as the Husband and Father of a Brown family, I have serious worries about where we are headed right now at least in regards from the groups that have felt empowered by this election, it is not a good feeling at all.
