    Roses are red

    Violets are blue

    Oversimplified political apathy

    Is what gave you Trump 2

    here’s an example for you to drive home why sentiment like this is dumb and creates false equivalencies. when I was 14, I worked at a grocery store. there were two managers that I would get scheduled with. they both sucked and were awful human beings. however, one was a known child predator. which one do you think I’d rather get scheduled with?

    The funniest thing about non Americans is that they think most of us don’t fucking know this. It’s so annoying

    Finally someone who speaks the truth, however humans are a lost case, you can’t un-slave mentality without changing the people.

      We currently have two parties in the US:

      1. The Nazi party.

      2. The Nazi collaborator party.

      One is objectively better than the other, but that ain’t saying much.

      “This parent abuses you much less than the other. Why are you complaining?!?!?!”

        Interesting analogy I have found. There is a plethora of psychology and sociology studies that show that children in abusive relationships end up hating the parent that refuses to stand up to the abusive parent more than the parent doing the abusing. Even if the child wouldn’t phrase it this way, there is an acceptance that abusive alcoholics exist. It is the supposedly good and sober parent letting it happen and enabling it that generates the greatest anger and hatred in the child.

        And back in real life rather than your imagination, we’ve got the actual rapist versus the guy who once smelled someone’s hair. Yeah definitely both the same. /s

        Yeah, America is a capitalist hellhole, but the false equivalence you folks are pushing is absolutely astonishing.

      Oh yes this is exactly what OP is saying. I’m sure Biden along with all the other Democrat politicians care IMMENSELY about everyone and are pure, benevolent beings. OP is 100% wrong. Democrat politicians treat every US citizen as if they are their own child. As long as the Republicans continue to do awful shit I will 100% believe this is how the world runs!

      As an outside viewer, the Democrats seem like the obvious better choice. The also obviously don’t care about you that much. From what I can tell, while their actions are not outright destructive towards you, they at least seem only superficially helpful.

      And sure, that’s much better. I don’t think they care about you.

    Haha, I still not sure what to call them.

    1. USAns?
    2. USArians?
    3. USians?

    I think Usans would be the most correct, but they are a people with no name.

    This we have heard. This we all know. The concern for their fellows is all just for show
