    Maybe there are multiple branches of government making decisions and not only the white house cabinet, it’s kind of hard for anyone to get legislation through two chambers of congress when you’re effectively a minority in both. Which happens when they don’t get enough votes.

    So yeah. Fucking yourself over.

    That’s even without mentioning how republican rule makes things even worse. For everyone, but especially women and minorities.

      im a trans woman, i kinda fucking know this. Im just not going to put faith in the US government, who is very well know for explicitly working against every minority on the planet to further its own interests. Fuck that. Did you really think we vote away facism? You really think we live in a fucking democracy because we get to vote every two years?

      So yeah I guess im fucking myself over by living in your shitty white settler regime, thanks for changing fuck all.

      you want a vote, how about democrats do something besides being blue republicans?

      America is a one party state, but in typical american extravagance they have two of them.

        Are your state legislators or governor on the ballot? They are the ones that are chipping away at rights.

            Then vote against them. We have two parties, fascist trending, and hodgepodge of non fascist trending.

            Judging by how you have been commenting literally all night in US time, with a large portion of your posts about how the US sucks, with a 7 hour old account, I wonder if you aren’t a foreign Psy op, but I guess it’s possible that you’re a night shifter. The comment about Biden and abortion doesn’t sound like someone who knows about US politics and government. You seem to take issue with voting. High voter turnout usually means Dems win. We know which party certain world leaders prefer…

            Given all that and how we literally have an election tomorrow, the evidence just screams Psy Ops. I’m sincerely sorry if I am wrong, but it is like finding someone at a murder scene covered in blood, holding a weapon, that doesn’t like the victim, at a time when most people are in bed.

              both support genocide of native peoples, both are war mongering bastards, both invaded iraq and afghanistan, both killed libya

              i could go on

              I think they’re both the same when it comes to it. America is Fascist to the core, its genocide part has already succeeded though.

              you are taking a lot of leaps and bounds to justify in your mind that im some fucking russian bot. Its really chill when you get branded a traitor for not standing with the party, which sounds awfully like something america would critique everyone else for.

              I live in hawaii, no not in those hotels, not the pristine mansions, the real Hawaii. You remember it? The sovereign nation ya’ll took over, ethnically cleansed, and currently are genociding and stealing from? They didn’t forget you. Not at all. Democrats have a stronghold here, but they usually do nothing for anyone and everything for the landowners and tourist industry. They are worthless. I’d prefer hawaiians have their own national party, and separate from the US entirely. Like it should have been anyway. But i suppose native sovereignty is a psyop too? They’re all psyops, so we must crush all anti american movements like those.

              Given all that and how we literally have an election tomorrow, the evidence just screams Psy Ops. I’m sincerely sorry if I am wrong, but it is like finding someone at a murder scene covered in blood, holding a weapon, that doesn’t like the victim, at a time when most people are in bed.

              its hawaii, midnight just about, but my sleep schedule is horrendous. But I guess thats nothing compared to your paranoia i guess.

                The US has done some terrible things, genecide more than once. I’m not a huge fan of the Democrats either, but right now they are the lesser of the two evils and a pretty broad party. First past the post voting inevitably leads to two parties.

                Saying both parties are the same is complete bullshit. Assuming you really just live in Hawaii, you can continue to spread your not voting nonsense and help the party that just elected a speaker that would be just fine forcing everyone to be a Christian and denies humans role in the climate situation. Speaking of that, this is a climate community. Let’s not derail discussions with some unrelated political issues.

                Sure things suck in a lot of ways. You don’t think voting matters, what is your alternative?

        While voting rights are eroding and distribution of power is a problem, do you really think this is what a dictatorship looks like?

        living in your shitty white settler regime

        I’m not American, nor do I live in the US.

          so you really actually think we are. You live in a lie, how do you not see how corrupt it is. Lobbying is literally legalized bribery that isn’t a fucking democracy.

          even a harvard study says we are a plutocracy, not any republic or democracy

          I’m not American, nor do I live in the US.

          applies to all of europe besides ireland, yall Euros are smug in your ‘superiority’ but are nothing but US doggs sniffing its ass as ya follow along

              a troll? Im very clear about my intentions, and am here to state my true opinions. Trolling is when you deceive people in order to infuriate them. I think you just don’t have a response so instead of just fucking off you’ve come back to pretend you’ve done something. Reply with something real or just fuck off.
