The we question simply meant that it's not only the USA. For me the answers are totally expected since it's the law of every land for quite some time now. A real globalization of people getting tired by being presented with dubious candidates and having to plug their noses every time they vote. Mostly against the other cadidate, as the article pointed out nicely.
I just happened to have that segment on the DVR and I've watched it a couple times.
Disgust, revulsion, seismic shift in polity, dysfunction, some folks might step back and think regardless of who wins we got way bigger problems . . . . The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Americans are people and they got the same kind of politicians the rest of the world has. Maybe even a bit worse since bribery has been institutionalised with Citizens United. Why should Americans react any differently to the abyssmal choices they're presented with. If I was American I would clamp my nose and vote for Hillary although I despise her fake smile as well as her corporate ties. For the only reason that her opponent is a steaming turd that somehow learned to walk and talk. Pretty much the same in the rest of the world. I am allowed to vote since 1982, but I only remember two times when I actually voted for someone or something and not against the alternative. That even made me vote strategically for a party I don't like. Just because they got the bigger chances of gaining enough votes to beat the bigger evil than my original choice would have had.
