India does have a high level of criminality and corruption in politics, but it is different from the U.S. in one aspect.

An Indian politician who brags about sexual assault and doesn't even deny video-taped evidence of the bragging .... would have no chance of being elected as Prime Minister. As we demonstrated in November, American voters have a much higher tolerance level when it comes to electing our president.

I beg to differ here. In India, you can be elected as a PM if you have large social media brigade. Our current PM has charges of rioting against him and he won by huge margin by using effective PR and his social media brigade.

I am not saying he was not indirectly responsible for the riots, but he has been cleared from those charges.

Um, we kinda elected a Prime Minister who was either complicit, or willfully incompetent during a large scale riot.

I'm sorry, but "pussy grabbing" is nothing compared to Narendra Modi's history.
