No, not really.
But why would that matter?
Well diversity in the gene pool certainly matters but clearly this is a lesson that was lost on your family generations ago.
dang, I didn't know rule 1 "be civil" became rule 1 "insult everyone"
Clearly I'm not paying attention.
He was civil. He didn't try to overthrow the government and kill someone. He also wasn't on Epstein's plane. Does that count?
If insulting other people is "being civil", then I think I now know why the english-speaking internet is so toxic and why english-speaking democracies are so incredibly fucked.
Unlike the non-English-speaking world, where fascists are never voted into office?
You literally voted one into office in 2016 and he's running again this year you dunce.
Sure, the guy who said he's going to be a dictator, clear out the "parasites" from the country, clean the political system is in fact not a fascist
You're delusional
Welcome to my block list.
I guess we know what Neo N of hos user name means now.
"Ha, he said that he speaks German, so he must be from Germany! I am so smart!"
Cry about it
Because Black lives matter, because Asian lives matter, because Hispanic lives matter. This country is a melting pot of cultures and ideas and if you don’t have someone that represents you, then you're not likely to be represented.
Yeah, but that's what advisors are for.
Or Gleichstellungsbeauftragte as we say in german.
The person you elect has to make decisions in a similar way that the majority of the population would. That's the whole idea behind it.
If FDR would have listened to the people, the US would have never joined WW2. If Johnson had listed to the people, we would have not passed the Civil Rights Act.
We call on a leader to lead, not follow.
