If such a party existed in the United States, the DC media establishment would looooooooove them so much it makes me sick just thinking about it. "See guys, we really can all work together, and in a way that always benefits me!"

This is incorrect. Both countries you mentioned have first-past-the-post systems.

That isn't how MP's are elected in Canada. We do, in fact, vote directly on our MP by riding.

I'd argue we have that now. The Democratic Party is a coalition of Liberals and Labors, the Republican Party is a mix of Conservatives and Libertarians. They just duke it out within the party to get control.

Most other Democracies aren't representative Republics like the United States is. The Westminster System (UK, Canada, etc.) is based solely on party identity. You don't vote for Joe Smith, you vote for the Labour Party. Representatives aren't chosen directly, they're chosen proportionally (i.e. Party A got 30% of…

I would even take it a step further and say that there really are only two party systems. Even in countries that are technically multiparty, you basically have two sets of coalitions of the parties that fight each other.

I had a buddy that worked at a Lexus dealer, I can assure you, that bow exists.

Yeah, if I that bow was a requirement it would basically be just chilling down stairs like, "I got you this huge ass bow!"

What would it take to start a legitimate American third political party?

No better gift that a damn car. And gotta have the gigantic bow that looks like it alone cost $500.

I swear to god, there has been an increase in "holiday gifts" and I feel it's tied to trying to boost the economy. I feel in the last 6 years EVERY event has to have some kind of a gift.
"Show her you lover her this Valentines day, with a Lexus." "Be sure you buy your kids the nicest bike this Easter." I've even read…

You got your facts wrong, pal. There was no deal to let Peterson play. The reason he won his appeal was because Goodell sidestepped the collective bargaining agreement to indefinitely suspend him, which Goodell clearly did and I agree with the overturning of the suspension. However, that doesn't equal a "deal to let…

So glad my team's lunatic RB has as his worst crime taking the piss out of the media.

He didn't "run over" a meter maid. He let his car roll forward at about one mile an hour and instead of getting out of the way, she counted on her authority as a traffic cop to somehow stop the car and it bumped into her shin. She fell over backwards, he stopped the car, and nothing was hurt but her pride. So…

I don't think it is overreacting to punish a guy who whips his kid in the scrotum and then acts like a total dick about it.

There was that time when Moss ran over a meter maid and that time he shit on (verbally) a local restaurant that provided a post-practice meal, but yeah, he seems like a generally good dude who likes to smoke weed.

Okay, but Randy Moss was awesome. Anyone who sends Joe Buck into conniptions after fake mooning Green Bay fans is a national hero and you should be honored to root for them. He's a shithead because he didn't like to block? What a unique quality for elite WR's!

Yes, god forbid people want him to not be an idiot who beats his kids. Better get away from that real quick.

So I'm just going to assume you live under said bus. Let's play a little game called "answer my own questions to prove how ignorant you are."

You can't expect an unsuspecting individual to move to the middle of American Scandinavia and not become a terrible person.
