One major flaw of this movie

We NEVER pick the smartest guy. Ever. Look at who is in Congress: Bankers. Businessmen. No scientists. No philosophers. No writers, artists, creators.
The people running America have one agenda only: Filling their pockets with money. That's all. At the expense of everything else, including human life.
The film's real flaw was that it was too nice. It showed innocent stupidity, instead of malevolent stupidity. Bill Clinton, vs. Donald Trump. Fiction, vs. reality.

You didn't come here to make the choice, you're here to understand why you made it. -

The smartest people do not run for President. It's somewhat humiliating and you have to behave in a very bizarre way. You get attacked from all sides and the media and the voters focus on the silliest things. Then, when you get elected, you encounter political opposition that is unreasonable, uncooperative, and somewhat corrupt. If you are smart, you go into the private sector. We are lucky that anyone qualified even bothers.

at OP:
"Look at Obama. They said he was the second coming of Christ, that they should rename B.C. and A.D. to B.O and A.O. All you heard was about how Obama was going to get me two houses, a car in every garage and a chicken in every pot. So popular and yet condemned as the worst president," - johnlennon18
any more questions? -

another good example here:
"Well you idiots shouldn't have sprouted that garbage in the first place knowing full well that was to high of an expectation. Next time vote with your mind and not who's popular."
and let's not forget, that's still the answer to the statement that the candidates' cruz and trump are a perfect example of of dumb the majority is today already.
couldn't be that i support carson or did support mccain back in the days and think that those two are a disgrace. nope, he goes immediately to moron lane: oooh, you bloody left wing communist gay opama loving america hating communist, followed up by a factually inaccurate rant about our recent president.
and those people exist in millions. how much more proof does one need. -

look, another prime example (i love this guy):
"Now that you got that put of your system don't you remember the news reports and YouTube videos praising the guy? Even a song titled I'm in love with Obama was popular for a while. Also at least I know what the politicians I vote for stand for."
so, he ignores everything that was achieved in favor of some irrelevant pseudo arguments.
instead he celebrates that he has no problem with a guy that:- want to bring back torture
- build a wall to mexico
- keep muslims out of the land
als long as he really stands for it.
and even funnier: he thinks that either cruz or trump will keep word.
"and love Bernie for promising free this or that with no way to pay for it."
wow, so your whole argument is "bernie=crap", so much for idocracy.
"Also the criminal clinton."
oh, and while we are at credibility: you are fired. xD
ironically she is the only moderate republican in the race.
"To many idiots for sure out there."
oh the irony.

Wow you're making an awful lot of noise for someone who didn't actually, oh, I don't know SAY ANYTHING?
You spent three paragraphs smashing the other guy without actually putting up ANYTHING of substance.
I love people like you; you're all so very predictable.

You are special.
You know John Lennon was very left wing in ideology no you probably didn't. I assure you he would be standing for President Obama not against him. If he were alive, he would be endorsing Bernie Sanders.
Did I say too much? -

Actually my TSP is always at record levels when the left is in office and tanks when the GOP is in office. Also the GOP obstructed and Obama still got bin Ladin, cut unemployment, cut the deficit and millions more have healthcare.

condemned as the worst president
Where, other than Fox News and other right wing sites has he been called the worst? Most presidential historians without an agenda to promote have rated the Obama presidency as mid to high-mid. -

This sounds more like YOU were the problem and that YOU were listening to the wrong people and bought into some crazy fantasy. I voted for Obama, twice, because both times he was the superior candidate. I'm sure that some people voted for him because he's African-American and that's okay; I think he showed many Americans how the color of your skin is irrelevant and his presidency has also revealed how much deep-seated racism remains in our country (I'm white man with two college degrees, if that matters.)
The only people who say he is the worst are the same people who voted for Bush and the same people who think that nut with the hairy yellow thing on his head is actually a leader, not a conman. Most of us remember what a mess we were in after Bush left office: an economy in the dumps, companies closing, homes being repossessed, 401 k plans losing 1/3 of their value, and American soldiers were losing their lives in two misguided and unwinnable wars. The rich were paying less tax than ever and more of the burden had been shifted to the shoulders of the middle class.
Eight years later, Obama has made so many things better, in spite of an opposition that has gone out of its way to block and derail his every movie. the economy is on the mend, although it will take a long time to really fix it, fewer people are unemployed, fewer soldiers are being killed; there are fewer illegal immigrants; fewer people with health insurance; and the stock market is way up. His administration has been scandal-free and he is the first president in recent memory to have such high approval ratings in the 8th year of his term.Ther REAL idiocracy comes from that sad right-wing bunch who lack the integrity and the grace to acknowledge this. Most of them are white, elderly, religious, lack a college education, and live in a red state that ranks in the bottom half of the states when it comes to quality-of-life. As long as they keep pretending that Trump,Palin, Cruz, etc. are legitimate candidates for the Executive office, their ships (the GOP & the Tea Party) will keep sinking into irrelevance and oblivion.
