Anyone else sick of the dynasty talk in the eletions?

Seriously. It is not as though they are the same people as the "line" they are from. It seems like a load of crap. Oh no! A son ran and won, now a wife is running and might win! The horror!

Wait till Jeb runs. The Bush family would love to be the first to have 3 Presidents.

Don't you think it brings up questions about just how democratic the system is? Out of 300million Americans it just so happens we might have nothing but Bush and Clintons for almost 30 years?

True, if Clinton win, then that means for 20 years we'd had nothing but Bush, Clinton, Bush and if she wins, Clinton.

Me too, but you are an asshole. Because the way you phrased that made me think about The Game. :mad: :p

We may have 300 million Americans, but how many can actually afford to run?

Besides just because the last name is the same, does not mean there policies will be.

Another thing, 2 people does not a dynasty make.

Well, isn't that the point? Is it really democracy if the only choice the people get is which rich guy rules over them?

But it is not political restrictions that are keeping people from running. It is financial resrictions, and there is no real way to fix that without it being unconstitutional. Types of law restricting the amount of you own money you can use for a run were struck down by courts as such.

So what? The effects are political. And all that means is that the constitution is wrong.

As an outsider, it is concerning that nepotism is seemingly so strong. Particularly in such a self-proclaimed bastion of freedom & democracy. This impression may be wrong, but that's how it comes across.

Seconded, with each new installment the game stays the same and only slightly improves its graphics.:p
