Trying to explain the American political system to any sane, rational, thinking human being is sorta of like teaching a hamster the higher mathematics. The hamster gets annoyed very quickly!
The problem with the political system is that it is mired in left-wing/right-wing thinking. Both political parties are so mired in each other's BS that is amazing that anything gets accomplished. Couple that with voter apathy and it becomes even more of a mess.
Personally, I feel that both parties have so lost contact with anything resembling reality that their members need to be committed to long-term care in various mental hospitals.
