  • To be fair, a lot of Americans are very stupid. Living here is extremely frustrating at times…

    The larger issue is that many Americans are selfish and cruel, though. That’s why getting sick once can ruin our lives, and why working in this country can often be inhumane and awful.

    The pervasive lie here is that everyone makes it if they work hard. Good people believe this, and it’s a big part of what’s destroying us as a country.

    Are you aware of how difficult/impossible it is for many Americans to vote? The GOP has dedicated decades to disenfranchising voters, and rigging elections via gerrymandering.

    That’s why this wasn’t even close… He won by a landslide, despite the popular vote being razor-thin. He also won the last election in 2016 despite the popular vote being lost.

    My country is severely fucked up at a governmental level.



  • We’re trying to convince them, and so far none of them are listening.

    Families all over the US and Canada are being torn apart. I’ve never seen anything like this in my lifetime, and I’m not a young man…

    I fear greatly not just for my own country, but for the damage that will be done to the entire world if we can’t stop this.

    Here’s a free English lesson:

    Retard: To delay or hold back in terms of progress, development, or accomplishment.

    Edit: Oh, wow… you seem to agree with me, but you disliked that I wrote a four sentence reply to the use of it? You don’t seem to understand what a “paragraph” is, so I’m kind of glad you blocked me.
