I think the US is not a monarchy, but people act like they elect a potentate. It should not be person against person popularity vote with emotional appeals and personal attacks.
The elections are a circus show. And asking about thoughts on a candidate is part of the show. Why ask thoughts about the candidate instead of their political agenda.
And because this show is about emotion, being part of the show is not wanted in community boards like this one here. Emotional topics are prone to flame wars.
Do not create posts about sensitive topics that may instigate argument
