Like this election. People are picking who they dislike least to lead them. What kind of a choice is that? You should be picking the best leader out of a group of potentially great leaders... not the one guy who's not quite as bad as the other.
That is the problem with our election process. It's two parties, and they choose who gets to play. Anyone who thinks outside the box or goes against the grain can't run be the President.

On top of that, we don't even elect our President per say. We elect delegates in primaries to hopefully vote for the guy we want. There are superdelegates who get as much say as entire districts in our county. Even in the general election, all we do is tell the electors who our state wants as President. They are not bound to vote that way.
