  If America saw what America was doing to America, then America would invade America to liberate America.

    not as long as america supported americas economic and political interests. America has never cared about “democracy”.

      America has never cared about “democracy”.

      The election system makes that blatantly obvious. First-past-the-post voting and a two party system is pretty anti-democratic in and of itself, and was derided by George Washington as one of the great evils of history.

    We should tell Americans there’s oil in Texas. Liberate them or something

    I heard once that project Cascadia (wherein the west coast separates from the rest of the US) was a Russian-backed effort to destabilize the west and… I hate to say it but I’ve been like “fuck it, you won, get us out of here.”

  …I mean, take out the “in America,” really.

    Agreed. As a Canadian I should not have to protect my democracy from the president either.

  • People surrender enormous amounts of personal autonomy to their bosses, their landlords, and their political leadership

  • Bosses, landlords, and political leaders pool all their power under a Unitary Executive position with entirely unchecked authority

  • Chief executive abuses the office

  • New chief executive abuses the office

  • Even newer chief executive abuses the office

  • The latest chief executive abuses the office

  God damn, read a fucking book. For every moment you’ve been alive it has been like this.

      Yes, the people are supposed to hold politicians accountable. This attitude of ‘I don’t want to have to pay attention to politics’ from liberals is fucking wild. This is exactly why they don’t know the Dems were supporting most of the same Trump policies, but quietly.

      Just go back to brunch.

  Wrong. That’s absolutely what your responsibility as a citizen is, to ensure the protection of democracy from everyone in any position capable of undermining it.

  We had a pretty close call there. For a while, the president was pushing hard for a federal online censorship program that got caught lying as soon as it was formed, and also trying to get votes counted with no voter ID unlike every single other democratic country. The administration was also paying bail for protestors who burned down random businesses and pushing for prosecution of people who acted in self defense. Luckily we didn’t re-elect him and his handlers after that.

    The president also pardoned a bunch of domestic terrorists, screwed over our farmers, and undermined our energy security and trade domination, not to mention replacing every federal job he could with incompetent buffoons. I hate that old white guy.
