Sure - flaws in America's democracy but it works for the most part or many
parts.
My question though - if some of those issues are debate in Gambia, would
you be for Democrats or Republican argument/position.
For instance - would you support voter ID or not in Gambia and would you
prefer secure borders or not?
Reference the 2 parties positions on these issues.
I found many Gambians - those things in America - they're Democrat and
Republican when is Gambia. I also have a close friend from Niger - he has
the same changing positions of many things when is America and when is
Niger.
As you said is interesting. More importantly though truth is very relative
to human nature.
