    Yeah, because there’s nobody and nothing except the majority opinion that decides who gets elected or even nominated.

    That’s why the median wealth of Congress is ten times that of the general population and the current president is an octogenarian who entered politics before the invention of the pocket calculator and thinks the solution to police brutality is to throw more money at cops 🙄

      Someone needs a refresher on how representative democracy works, like I said, we know the state of American education.

        I know how it’s supposed to work, sure. Unlike you, though, I’m also aware that it doesn’t work like that when legal bribes and demagoguery are the two main components of every election.

        I can’t tell if you’re being ridiculously naive or completely disingenuous, but either way, I’ve already told you to fuck off twice. Maybe third time’s the charm. Fuck off.

          All things instituted by representatives of the people who voted for them.

          You get what you vote for. 💩

          Already told you to fuck off twice.

          Nobody’s forcing you to stay except your ego and that lack of education that keeps coming up. If this is a conversation you’re not ready for you’re welcome to not engage.

            You either know that’s not true of a system with widespread legalized bribery and you’re blatantly lying or you don’t and you’re a colossal idiot.

            Either way, leave me alone.

            Nobody’s forcing you to stay except your ego

            No, I have impulse control issues, a lack of neural input filters and executive dysfunction. It makes it very difficult to not answer when someone says something to me.

            and that lack of education that keeps coming up.

            From which university did you get your Masters degree in regurgitating naive lies?

            If this is a conversation you’re not ready for you’re welcome to not engage.

            I. Said. Fuck. Off.

              Americans voted for that system too…

              Either way, leave me alone.

              It’s called walking away, just like you chose shit representatives you choose to continue replying to a conversation you don’t want to have. No wonder you don’t get it, you can’t help but engage in self harm.

                    No amount of practice would ever see me reach the peaks of stupidity at which you start without even trying. Now go annoy someone else.
