You rustic American yokels with your quaint lil notions! Can one even *be* educated, properly speaking, and from the US?
Next thing you know, you'll be pushing for command lines!

I tend to get most of my knowledge of US Politics from the Daily Show :)

Coming from a Scandinavian country, I think your observation that few around here appreciate the diversity of the US is correct. I think very few know anything about the political diversity, and how many parties there are on the local level beyond the two large ones. The US Presidential elections is given very wide coverage here, with every primary election being big news. So, it is easy to get the impression that the US only has two political parties at all levels.

Kjetil: We *do* only have two political parties at all levels; actually, we only have one. On nearly every issue, there really isn't that much difference between the average Republic and the average Democrat.
There are, nominally, both libertarians and Greens in the US, and they both have some local office holders; but not in numbers that are politically significant.
