Definitely a :3

It ends in a vowel so it’s in Mexican, right?

JFC the US is cooked.

Once they reach for the “anyone who disagrees with me is a Russian troll”, it’s best to disengage. Their responses are primarily memes, insults, and parroted talking points. Classic American - they don’t have any more to offer.

Because you’re clearly not a serious person.

Just because they’re pointing out something that makes you uncomfortable doesn’t give you license to be a condescending cunt. Your argument is basically “nuh uh”. If anyone here isn’t a serious person, it’s you. Stop projecting, yeah?

You’re going to get mobbed by Americans for denigrating their favored sports team. Most anyone outside the states see the Democrats and Republicans as two sides of the good cop/bad cop coin, with Democrats catering to token issues but being weak, ineffectual, and generally center to center right.

And no, I’m not encouraging anyone not to vote. Vote AND hold your politicians accountable. Have a proper fucking protest like the French, not these soft, civil assemblies you lot seem to favor.

They’re far too well spoken to be that knobhead.

Thank you. The headline seems to ignore the rest of the last 8 decades.

Agreed. Panama Papers and a sizable chunk of the Epstein Files were released yet most Americans couldn’t be arsed to get off the sofa.

It certainly seems that way, as long as said apparatus ensures their team stays in power. The alternative, consistently and actively engaging in politics, was too much.

They used to sell a slow cooker whose catch phrase was “set it and forget it.” This also described prevailing attitudes about political engagement beyond elections.

Don’t forget extending and building upon the Patriot Act!

Spiral power!

They’ll lose a lot of potential money, but I can guarantee the ringleaders will end up much wealthier. Just like every time before, the taxpayers will foot the bill for fixing this.

That’ll start to turn around in a few months once manufacturers lose that easy AI money.

It sounds plausible enough for the portion of the American public who seem to be incapable of critical thought to blindly follow it. It’s a ‘gotcha’ for imbeciles.

Sweet, when will they get here? I’ll put the kettle on.

While I agree with the heart of your comment, the true test is what Democrats do when they have more power. Historically, Democrats have often retained and even advanced policy they previously denounced, such as when Obama era politicians renewed and even extended parts of the Patriot Act.

I suspect there’s also some paralysis from not knowing what to do. Many US citizens seem to feel voting is futile, which is understandable: the Democrats seem to be scarcely better than Republicans save for a handful of issues, and some Democrats seem to be sliding to the right on those.

It’s becoming increasingly clear that more than voting is needed, but it’s much less clear on exactly what needs to and can be done with the limited capacity of the overworked, underpaid average American citizen.
