    My fellow Americans, Tuesday is an election day. Get off your asses and vote. I will be making a post Tuesday.

            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.

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

                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
