what the fuck is wrong with america?
Republicans.
Well, rightists in general. Unfortunately there is a non-zero percentage of rightist Democrats, as well.
That's not to say that Democrats are perfect though. With the people who are in charge that are Democrats being severely uneducated, such as Biden saying that cannons and flamethrowers are illegal and impossible to own. Overall the issue is that nobody directly has any opinion or control. We vote for people that make decisions for us and they don't always upkeep their promises and make decisions people that voted for them like. There is no exactly perfect candidate, voting eliminates most bad candidates, but voting directly in as many matters as possible is a much better and reliable democracy than the current system.
that is some truly moronic whataboutism, and nothing else.. only cowards hide behind arguments like that..
the democratic party is largely a right wing conservative party, so i would assume so
“Boy, these conservatives are really something, aren't they? They're all in favor of the unborn. They will do anything for the unborn. But once you're born, you're on your own. Pro-life conservatives are obsessed with the fetus from conception to nine months. After that, they don't want to know about you. They don't want to hear from you. No nothing. No neonatal care, no day care, no head start, no school lunch, no food stamps, no welfare, no nothing. If you're preborn, you're fine; if you're preschool, you're fucked.”
Until you're old enough to join the military.
Nah, get with the times. They're putting kids back in factories and kitchens now.
Mandatory psilocybin doses might do it.
The narcissists include those who have allowed republicans into power - and to erode any social safety nets they can get their paws on - for DECADES, by sitting on their lazy mediocre asses on Election Day, fondling their ~~ignorance~~ purity then lovingly sniffing their fingers... bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe LoL aMiRitE.
We're addicted to tearing one another down to feel better about ourselves. Our country has become the national embodiment of schadenfreude.
Help.
As a leftist, I don't want to tear Republicans down. And I'll stop the moment they stop trying to commit genocide against minorities and literally starve children.
this is the whole thing, man.. tweaking freaks for competition 24/7 just for the chance to make SportsCenter..
There’s always a group of people or party that want to tear others down. From slavery and seceding, to wanting segregation laws and harassing minorities. In other countries you had apartheid and Nazis. It’s a constant battle/struggle against evil and those wanting to dismantle and control others.
I'd prefer if you asked what the fuck is right with America so the answer can be two sentences rather than the length of a novel.
