however I refuse to believe the USA is a good example of this considering that more people turned out to vote in this election then ever before.

The main reason for that being that the majority of the new voters either didn't want a second term for Trump, or didn't want Biden to win.
I watched enough local news that interviewed random people everywhere in the States about who and why they vote. More than half of the people interviewed, across two dozen interviews with random people (5-10 each), didn't vote because of actual politics. But because of the guys running for elections.

I do agree with political infighting, but I don't believe the solution to this is: "people I disagree with shouldn't be allowed to vote".

Never said that this is my solution to the problem. My solution is: Let the actually experienced people do politics, not the popular guys.

I was never saying that nixon and german political parties where the same.
I was saying that Nixon is a good example of what happens when a leader is extremly corrupt Ie. they get kicked out of office/are forced out of office.

Which doesn't apply, and your wording was not the best here then.

If george washington had declared himself the eternal Emperor of America, would he simply be ousted from office or not?

Russia has so many giant rivers in Siberia where no one lives, they could change pretty easily.

Those rivers freeze. Siberia is the second coldest region on Earth in Winter, and one of the hottest, non-desert or steppe regions during Summer in Asia.

you are trusting people to not be corrupt, please show me one time in history a group of people were given much more power and didn't use it to their own ends.
You can't just have a sense of "benefit of the doubt" when it comes to important things like running nations. The lesser evil is to allow everyone to vote so you can hope that the people who know what they are talking about vote the best candidate. It has worked up till now.

Was Gandhi corrupt?

He could have stayed in power if he did. All he had to do is what many other eternal leaders did. Partly did so. Otherwise, we wouldn't have the US today. If he decided to become King, the Kingdom of America/Washington would as well have been possible.

Wow that sucks! I hope you weren't too far in the game or else that woulda really hurt :(

I don't play PvZ2, but I do got the OG PvZ game CD and then occasionally play Garden Warfare 2 sometimes. It's so rare to bump into another person who likes the franchise!

1. I was on Modern Day and was close to getting my first Power Mint. It really hurts.

2. GW2 is awesome. I main the plants and have multiple legendaries. I even got torchwood and future goat (But I paid to get them, don't tell anyone!). I've gotten Mob Cob and Torchwood up to Master rank somehow.
