U.S. presidential election chaos exposes flawed political system. China mocks United States elections.
WikiLeaks recently promised “significant” disclosures on the U.S. election, war, arms and oil in the coming weeks. It is widely believed that these revelations will add more flames to the already chaotic political show.
Scandals have dogged the two main candidates throughout the 2016 election, which has further increased dissatisfaction among U.S. citizens. According to a recent Gallup poll, 60 percent of registered voters view Donald Trump as the least favorable candidates in 25 years, and Hillary Clinton as the second least favorable.
The tax-related questions for Trump, as well as worries over Clinton’s health and her use of a private email server, have all led to the current state of the election. In their first presidential debate, the two candidates focused more on personal attacks than policies. The Times commented in an editorial that the candidates have neglected the widening gap between the American dream and social reality.
A recent survey showed that voters now perceive the government and congress as the biggest problems needing to be addressed in American society. These concerns come ahead of issues like the economy, employment and immigration. Of course, that doesn’t mean voters don’t care about economic and social issues, but it does show the great and growing concerns that U.S. citizens have about their political system.
Despite protests against money-oriented politics and election scandals, Trump still plans to drop another $140 million on campaign ads. Anticipated to cost as much as $5 billion, most of which comes from special interest groups, the 2016 election is likely to be the most expensive one in history.
People are very clear about the sour fruits of money-oriented politics, and the new U.S. president is unlikely to end political confrontation or even do much to ease discontent toward the government. As British economist Martin Wolf said, growing inequality and slowing productivity have made democracy intolerant and capitalism illegitimate.
For a long time, the U.S. has boasted that its lively election is a sign of its system’s superiority. However, the essential purpose of the election is to provide a driving force for development. The most important task for presidential nominees is not to win the election, but to eventually govern the country.
It's time for the U.S. to take a close, honest look at its arrogant democracy and flawed politics.

Men of Trumps's age grew up trained by their father's and other men to put women down by society's norms at the time of not respecting women's unpaid and PAID contributions to children, parenting, and the social economic health of their community, state, country.
Men actually owned their married spouses property, assets, inheritances, income wages earned and had total household control of all property and money and a woman who left without proving significant spousal abuse and cruelty or proving infidelity did not even get a court award of spousal support and had to fight even for a nominal child support court award.
A legally married wife was truthfully no better than an UNPAID DOMESTIC SLAVE WHO WORKED FOR FREE SIMPLY TO HAVE FOOD, SHELTER AND MEDICAL CARE.
Because society and even the court system supported this UNPAID DOMESTIC SLAVERY OF WOMEN, MEN ABUSED THEIR POWERS AND INSTEAD OF LOVING ,PROTECTING WOMEN WHO THEY REFUSED TO LET WORK OUTSIDE THE HOME RETAINING THE FINANCIAL POWER IMBALANCE OF A MASTER/SLAVE RELATIONSHIP, even after women were given the right to vote, right to work outside the home, right to compensation for years of career sacrifices via spousal support, society's attitudes towards women and their total disrespect of mocking women's struggles and efforts to compete in a male dominant employment market has continued.
A man thinks he is GIVING A WOMAN 50% OF THE MARITAL ASSETS, INSTEAD OF A WOMAN SIMPLY TAKING HER EQUAL SHARE OF MARITAL ASSETS SHE WORKED EQUALLY HARD TO EARN PERFORMING 90% OF THE MANY YEARS OF UNPAID DOMESTIC PARENTING AND HOMEMAKING.
THIS MALE ATTITUDE PREVAILS DESPITE SOCIETY NOW TOTALLY REJECTING IT.
TRUMP'S 2005 PUT DOWNS OF WOMEN WAS SIMPLY THE PAST NORM, HIS WIFE AND SOCIETY HELPED CORRECT, AND HIS WIFE HAS FORGIVEN HIM HIS PAST OUTDATED MALE CHAUVINIST PIG ATTITUDES FROM 2005 NOW BEING USED IN THE MEDIA TO PUT THE CRIMINAL HILLARY INTO THE PRESIDENT'S SEAT TO RUN THE US.
TIMES CHANGE, ATTITUDES CHANGE, BEHAVIOR CHANGES, AND OLD HABITS DIE HARD.
TRUMP KNOWS THE IMPORTANCE OF WOMEN, CHILDREN AND EVEN THE COMMON CITIZENS WHO REPRESENT 99% OF THE US POPULATION WHO STRUGGLE DAILY LIVING CHEQUE TO CHEQUE.
HILLARY DOES NOT, AND HAD COMMITTED CRIMINAL FRAUD AND THEFT BEYOND BELIEF.
ONLY GOD JUDGES SINS THAT HAVE BEEN REPENTED AND MAY GRANT AFTERLIFE GRACE.
I LIVE IN CANADA, AND FEAR HILLARY WHO IS A WARMONGERING PRIVATEER AND PART OF THE 1% ELITE ENSLAVING NOT ONLY THE US CITIZEN BUT ALSO THE WORLD.
WHILE I DO NOT CONDONE TRUMP'S PAST SINS, I MOST CERTAINLY TRUST HIM MORE THAN HILLARY.
BETTER THE REPENTANT SINNER YOU KNOW THAN A SINNER WHO LIES AND CLAIMS SHE IS A SAINT.
WAKE UP, FIND THE EYES TO SEE AND THE EARS TO HEAR AND USE YOUR GOD GIVEN HEART'S DISCERNMENT WHEN VOTING FOR THE NEXT PRESIDENT AND LEADER OF THE POWERFUL NORTH AMERICAN STATE'S NATION!
From your WIDE AWAKE CANADIAN NEIGHBOR
