…because they go up and try to engage in conversation?

Unlike the jackasses that fill in intent when there is none…

You forget the ones who encourage sitting it out as a means of protest. Even if the candidates are both shit, your country needs you to pick a side. Remember: sometimes it’s not about endorsing the candidate, so much as it is to deny the other a seat in power. The system will function as it normally does, but the choice is very much yours. You don’t get to sit it out because you disagree with one or two bullet points, then whine about the next 4 years.

The guy above you just making my exact point.

Because apparently 77million other dumb twats give or take, plus a few million other dumb twat sitouts seated him in the most powerful office in the world. Like it or not, he’s affecting your life.

THX sound

Didn’t white collar crime, open acts of corruption and misinformation also rise dramatically around the same time, particularly in branches of govt and the white house?

Maybe we need the immigrants to keep these metrics low!

Maybe if literally every discussion prior to his winning didn’t revolve around the participants’ black and white stand on genocide, the discourse and flow of moderate viewpoints may have gone better.

On what grounds? Did they elaborate?

Donchans not negotiating. He’s just bending over.

Am in ex colonial country. Can confirm. Our politicians try to play both parties while ratcheting up local rethoric like they’re in control. Hint: they’re not, and the superpowers they’re cozying up to don’t give a shit.

No. The system is what is is. The politicians are what they are. All it boiled down to was a simple choice. And they even managed to fuck that up. The kids need to grow up.

‘It’s the Dems fault for fielding such a low quality candidate. I know, let’s vote a proven grifting, impeached, convicted felon insurrectionist rapist who said he’d finish Gaza instead! Oh wait, I’m holding my breath until they do. What could go wrong?’

I suppose like the antichrist, there’s loads of people willingly submitting to this orange moron. Conservatives ought to be proud!

It’s because it costs more to acquire new customers than it does to implement measures to ensure those that you have, can’t leave.
