The U.S. has ‘worst elections of any long-established democracy,’ report finds
People aren&#x27;t willing to make their politicians accountable. It&#x27;s always the other person&#x27;s fault, the other side&#x27;s extremes; never their own.<p>You&#x27;ve got Clinton running an email server exposed to the world as secretary of state, ignoring warnings about it and then lying about it.
