would that be a weird idea or what?

It's not like everyone is left and right. But because of our first-past-the-post voting system, any number of political parties greater than two reduces the plurality by which the president wins. Meaning we could elect someone even crazier than Annoying Orange with only 29% of the vote. People realize this, and so third parties never really take off.
I would have liked Sanders to win the presidency, and technically there was nothing stopping me from voting for him. And obviously I didn't lol

I've sort of envisioned what it would be like if one of the founding fathers came back from the past. I figured we would need a couple weeks to keep them out of the spotlight while we train them not to hate women and/or blacks.
