I'm Swedish. Americans (mainly Republicans) often school me about how our political system is inferior to the American one, because here in Sweden, each party makes up list with candidates and people vote for the party, not necessarily the candidates themselves. I'm told that in the US, each politician is representing their constituents and not a party, which they argue, makes them more independent to vote against party lines. I don't see that in practice in the US, at least not on the Republican side. They might tell journalists off the record that Trump, RFK, Hegseth etc. is completely bonkers, but when it's time to vote, almost all of them vote for the bonkers one, anyway. So much for independence guaranteed by a "superior" system.

I'm not a fan of DJT, but I'm also not a fan of the far left. Both sides are extreme, and there are no news sources that give unbiased opinion.
