The amazing thing is that Kid is not embarrassed that a German know more about US political structures than he does. Instead, Kid proudly wears his ignorance as righteousness.

Only Commies engage in their countries politics!

No. It proves that they can be overcome. It proves that the Clinton News Network can not win elections against a candidate like Trump.

The republicans always have an unfair advantage over the Democrats in elections.
In presidential elections it is because of the antiquated system of an electorate, where rural (and more conservative) regions have less voters per elector (meaning that people in rural regions have much more voting power over people in cities (which usually are more liberal leaning))

And in house elections there is the process of Gerrymandering, which especially favors the republicans (although this may backfire in the midterm elections this year, because the last gerrymandring was pursued very aggresively by the republicans in order to gain as many house seats as possible, meaning that the republicans only allowed for a narrow advantage of GOP over DEMs in many voting districts)

So, actually, the Liberals/Dems always go into elections with the odds rigged against them ... meaning that they only have a reliable chance if the previous conservative president messed things up by a large degree (like Bush sr. ... economy ... and Bush jr. ... economy due to his tax cuts )
