As you may or may not know, I'd say most of the voting population is not very informed about politics. Everyone I have talked to about politics around me seems to have the wrong idea on what a president could actually do, and if they should actually be allowed to do it, and how they would go to around doing something.

Most agree that politicians are liars, yet when the elections come around, they always seem to believe that when a candidate says he's going to do something, they will get around to it eventually. Whether it is creating jobs, legalizing *********, or creating a wall with another country's money.

Now, to answer your question, as other people here said, this year, it is mostly whether you not vote for Clinton, or you don't vote for Trump. Hell, when Sanders was running and dropped out, the people that were going to vote for him wanted to not vote either, which meant less votes for the Democratic party.

Whatever the outcome, I'm sure America is in for one helluva ride. I'm both excited and scared.

That said, Congress makes all of this a joke because they pretty much hold all power, and barely anyone votes for midterm elections.

I am not proficient in United states governance system to be honest, but I know that the president is both the chief of the armed forces and the responsible of foreign affairs.I also heard that he likes Putin.

Now that scares me a lot as a European.

Now that scares me a lot as a European. They are, but it's not like they could do whatever they want without consulting the other branches first. Well, they can get away with a few things, but most of the time, it's not a solo type of thing, otherwise it'd be a (true) monarchy haha. A perfect example that I could think of from recent times is the thing that Obama wanted, which was to legalize plenty of undocumented immigrants of they fit a couple of qualifications. It didn't get through because of Congress, I think, and so he passed an executive action which is like a half-assed way of doing things, but a way to go around the others' permissions. Well, that is my understanding of it. I'm not really too into politics. If there's anything that Americans are good at, it's playing pretend. Like pretending to like someone as to not have bad relations. Scouts United** Gk.0s & Quafes all day.
