Yeah its sucks being a 'real' american during this but lets be real. As an american I'm willing to say it;
America sucks and is gross right now
You people are fucking clowns lol. You know that right? You are no different than people that blame ALL Palestinians for what the extremists did. Fucking morons.
We blame all Nazis too
Yes, everyone who isn't a nazi hates nazis. Tests a given. But a majority of Americans don't want this, mannnnny Americans votes were canceled because of bullshit, many poor areas had voter rolls purged. This isn't an ALL OF AMERICA problem, just the stupid ones.
Maybe the not stupid Americans could come up with a solution to the shitshow? Instead of saying sorry, but it wasn’t me who caused this?
Do you have a solution? Cause neither do we. Asking the right questions but we have no answers. I say it's the dems fault for letting this happen without safeguards in place when they had the majority. I'm not a law maker. The best I can do is go stand infront of my capital or city center with an AK, but that's not in the cards just yet.
A majority of Americans fit into two categories; supportive and permissive. A minority of Americans fit into the third and final category, the opposition.
In all likelihood many more votes were lost due to Gaza abstainers and plainly indifferent abstainers, than what was gained through destroying votes.
The Gaza abstainers were majority Muslim and about to not be here for much longer, I don't see how that translates into "ALL AMERICANS BAD" even if we go by your standard.
Like it or not, it's our responsibility as citizens. It's our fault the world has to deal with this. You don't get the benefits of living in a society without the responsibility. ESPECIALLY if the majority feels differently. Collectively, the majority has been too passive in participating in shaping our government and we've allowed lunacy to take hold.
Umm no, sorry. I'm not my government. I didn't agree with war in Iraq, I don't agree with Trump at all, I'm not gonna take the fucking blame for that moron and I'm not going to say america isn't a great country. I served in the military with some of the best people this world has to offer, we didn't make the decisions, we were there to protect the country when it got attacked. Any one of you Americans who say America isn't great (including trump) can fuck right off. I make 6 figures in this country with 0 formal training in IT. I was allowed to be hugely successful based on my own merit and by teaching myself. I'd STILL take this country over any other in the world, all sarcasm aside.
Yeah, your lack of accountability is the exact same attitude we collectively share that got us to this point. You are literally talking about how you have personally benefitted from the opportunities afforded to you by living in this country, and simultaneously washed your hands of any responsibility.
So yeah. I know you don't take responsibility. That's my point. Good job. Be proud of that I guess.
I voted you fucking little bitch. There's absolutely nothing else I can do. Fuck you, what are you doing that is so much better than what I did? Enlighten all of us.
Did I say you're not meeting your responsibilities?
Just because you're responsible doesn't mean you failed your duty or that you're SOLELY responsible you doofus.
You might want to get that overt hostility and projection checked.
Like you could have custody of a child. You're responsible for him. Doesn't mean you're not being a good dad. But it doesn't mean you shouldn't give a shit if your kid starts wrecking the neighborhood.
Calm the fuck down.
And yes, civic responsibility does go beyond just voting. Like our pervasive attitude as a society that complains about jury duty, or brags about getting out of it. Our duty to challenge our leaders openly.
You voted. Did everyone? How about the primary? You voted in that? Mid terms? Did you go to town halls? Did you campaign for someone? Did you call your representatives? Did you talk to your local community?
This idea that hey I voted, GG, is literally the apathy I'm talking about, and it's not directed at YOU the individual. It's directed at US as a PEOPLE.
The problem with you is your individualistic through and through, very American. And you think hey, if I can't single handedly fix something, there's no reason to expend effort.
