Commenting and writing about politics as if we were actually in a presidential system simplifies things. The mainstream media likes to simplify things for its readers - as exemplified by your comment on supermodel's views on condoms over at Polemica the other day.
I am not sure if it is true or not that the majority of people want their political commentary simplified, but that's certainly what the major media outlets in this country provide most of the time. Thanks to the almost communist level of domination that certain corporations have over our fledgling media market, we don't have any alternatives that seriously challenge the big players.
