So you have an average normal politician running against literally Hitler. And people vote for literally Hitler.

And you don't think the problem is the people voting for literally Hitler?

Don't get me wrong, the US voting system is also bad. But that is really, really not the main problem here...

    Average normal politicians don’t give Hitler weapons to commit genocide.

    What do you mean? Hitler committed genocide, so Hitler was given the weapons. And Hitler was given the authority for those weapons through a democratic process, by way of average normal politicians (Paul von Hindenburg, specifically).
