sorry, that just doesn't work (doesn't fit into the larger argument
you're trying to make, re Germany and liberal democracy).
Don't people in the US want a great leader?
Judging from the past 9 or 10 elections, evidently, not.
or maybe, with the state of politics as it is in the US, it's just
impossible to get any 'great' person to run for the job in the first place
so the 30% who actually take the time to vote, have the option of dumb or
dumberer.
