"The people stealing from Americans are not folks with tattoos and hoodies—it's people wearing suits and ties and congressional pins, sitting in this Capitol right now," said Rep. Maxwell Frost.
Naahhh we aren’t doing that. If you want to do that, source it and then we’ll talk. I have no way of knowing where they all live, but if you do, it’s your argument, get to making it.
That’s oligarchy apologetics bullshit to keep us from changing the system. No need to make things more democratic if we’re blaming the majority of people.
Ah, sadly, no. That story was cut from the broadcast because we found a story about a dog that rides a motorcycle in Sioux City.
“Market research” by our corporate owners says that white collar crime doesn’t bring in the advertising dollars unless the victims are other wealthy people.
I said this a million times last year on the leftist threads to people crying about the lesser evil. I don’t wish any pain on their lives but I also don’t know how to get through their thick skulls how real life can get unless they experience it from time to time.
*Won the popular vote but still a minority (<50%) voted for this.
30% of America voted for sitting on their ass and going “meh, whatevs” in November.
And where did that 30% live?
If not voting is voting for the person that won then everyone who didn’t vote in a blue state voted Kamala, so that 30% isn’t all “for” trump

That’s because 1/3 of voters tacitly support this shit by not voting.

The fptp voting system and gerrymandering did a lot of heavy lifting.
Sorry – no one can hear how right you are, over the simple glee of blaming the working class for getting so disenfranchised.
Larceny this, mugging that… Can we talk about the greater reach of white collar crime a sec, r?

“I’m not into politics. It doesn’t impact my life.”

I hope they have the day they voted for.
Simple as that. My empathy for those people is gone.
Because voting is not compulsory in your country so there’s no incentive to provide accessibility for people to vote.
Face it, you need a different system. Not going to happen without violence though… It’s a very sad state of affairs.
That’s the same number it’s been for 100 years. You’re never going to change that by pointing it out so what is the goal of this conversation?
That is the kind of aggressive apatheist mentality which got the US into this situation in the first place.
No, voter suppression and the two party system are what got us in this situation.
We don’t have such low voter participation because of vibes. It’s structural.
That’s the reality of America’s FPTP system.
If you did not vote for Harris, then you helped (directly or indirectly) Trump get elected.
Eh those who stayed home also voted for this.
That’s the usual reality of voting though. It doesn’t mean every American wanted it, but it still means America voted for this.
