The Canadian government has insisted that information on domestic goods is readily available to all trading partners, even including nations that recently elected a felony-convicted game show host to be their head of state. Instead, the United States has decided to employ a rarely-chosen trade tactic that international economists refer to as the “fuck around and find out” model.

Less than half in fact. Surprisingly, more than a third of our voting body didn’t vote. And that’s how he won.

If you didn't vote then you chose this.

[–] Rhoeri 15 points 4 hours ago

100% agree.

One third of Americans (non voters) were happy to watch whilst another third (MAGAts) attempts to murder ~~the other third~~ everyone.

Well, that’s only counting the voting collective of Americans. Not the entire population. Sadly, there are a lot of people not of voting age or ineligible to vote that are counted.

Point remains though.
