Only one in ten American voters want a bigger military budget. Congress keeps approving massive spending increases anyway, as it did when it voted for a nearly $1 trillion military budget last week.

The American People could stop this phenomenon if they stopped voting for people who vote for the increases, and yet here we are.
There are two options. One wants a bigger military and the other doesn’t want to look weak so they also want a bigger military.
Don’t forget that the whole thing is a massive make-work project that would crash the economy if it stopped growing.
I like how when average Dem types talk about “blue no matter who” they get shouted down, rightly, because of course Dems also increase the military budget and serve moneyed interests first. But then when they lose elections because they’re cheap and uninspiring, right wing maniacs do it even harder, and it’s then totally valid to hate on Americans. Only question to me is, how to fit all that on democracy’s toe tag.
Bold of you to assume that most of America even has a choice that wouldn’t approve this.
Spoiling your ballot is still a choice that makes a statement and sends a message without giving a vote to anyone, for what it’s worth.
As an American: Hahah-hah, ha-hahaaa!
As a rational person: Sorry the US is a shit show. I learned a few years ago that roughly 40% of us are functionally illiterate. I think that stands to imply a greater percentage than that are incapable of rational thought without being told.
