No, I'm one of those if you have to pick between a shit sandwich and a shit looking sandwich, you pick the latter not the former.
If no one voted for trump how did he become president, those are your shit eating countrymen and you support their consumption wholeheartedly.
Nobody's saying not to pick, that's YOUR assumption.
What I'm talking about is the people who keep shooting down all criticism with "we can deal with that after this election cycle" and then repeats that mantra every election cycle forever rather than ever ask that establishment politicians do anything other than not being fascists.
If you're one of those, off continues to be the direction in which I ask you to fuck.
Yes, that's how elections work. You elect the representatives then they do thing that represent your wishes.
You keep electing the ones working in the right direction to build momentum.
You don't vote to hit the emergency break because the car isn't going fast enough.
Well, Americans do, but we all know about the current state of American education.
Except that hasn't been true for the majority of the population for over 40 years now.
Which is neither of the major parties. Every time the GOP leans farther right, the Dems follows out of fear of losing their precious middle sliver. Resulting in them being to the right of Reagan now that the GOP has gone full fascist.
You also don't say "well at least we're not in reverse" when the car is driving away from a wildfire at 1mph.
Representatives represent. You got what you voted for. 💩
Yeah, because there's nobody and nothing except the majority opinion that decides who gets elected or even nominated.
That's why the median wealth of Congress is ten times that of the general population and the current president is an octogenarian who entered politics before the invention of the pocket calculator and thinks the solution to police brutality is to throw more money at cops 🙄
Someone needs a refresher on how representative democracy works, like I said, we know the state of American education.
I know how it's supposed to work, sure. Unlike you, though, I'm also aware that it doesn't work like that when legal bribes and demagoguery are the two main components of every election.
I can't tell if you're being ridiculously naive or completely disingenuous, but either way, I've already told you to fuck off twice. Maybe third time's the charm. Fuck off.
All things instituted by representatives of the people who voted for them.
You get what you vote for. 💩
Nobody's forcing you to stay except your ego and that lack of education that keeps coming up. If this is a conversation you're not ready for you're welcome to not engage.
You either know that's not true of a system with widespread legalized bribery and you're blatantly lying or you don't and you're a colossal idiot.
Either way, leave me alone.
No, I have impulse control issues, a lack of neural input filters and executive dysfunction. It makes it very difficult to not answer when someone says something to me.
From which university did you get your Masters degree in regurgitating naive lies?
I. Said. Fuck. Off.
Americans voted for that system too...
It's called walking away, just like you chose shit representatives you choose to continue replying to a conversation you don't want to have. No wonder you don't get it, you can't help but engage in self harm.
The only one harming me is you with your immense arrogabt stupidity, Dunning Kruger poster boy.
It's like you practice being this stupid.
No amount of practice would ever see me reach the peaks of stupidity at which you start without even trying. Now go annoy someone else.
You keep replying for the same reason you have shit politicians, you choose to.
