    I’m all for it. The Democrats have been a joke since they fucked Bernie. They’re terrible and don’t give a shit about their voters.

      To be clear to the naysayers: It’s not that we’re angry Bernie got fucked, it is what it is. We’ve just seen the writing on the wall SINCE he got screwed over.

      Also we’re a little angry.

      Oh, they were a joke long before that. In 2006, when we went from having a congress that rubber stamped everything Bush wanted to a congress that said they were displeased with Bush as they rubber stamped everything he wanted.

        I don’t know much about the US politics before 2010, that’s when I migrated to the US.

          Basically anything was approved as long as it was framed as national security.

          The terrorists won with 9/11

            Oh yeah, I’ve heard about that from some YouTube folks. Isn’t that when the patriot act was started when the government started reading people’s texts and listening to their phone calls ever since?

              Yup, it was the catalyst that led us to where we’re at. It let the government seize unconstitutional levels of power.
