    Anybody with an iota of logical brain and sense of morality knows Democrats and Republicans are just for show. There is no liberal left, and communist parties got banned with the Communist Control Act of 1954. All you have is the centrist right and far right, thus a country with zero consideration for morals and equality.

    Not sure if I should call it a country even, as Natives were genocided, and it is basically occupied territory by defected European goons.

    When will #FreeUSA trend on Twitter and Instagram?

      I don’t think they are just for show. There are differences in which policies each party try to pass. The GOP is clearly fascist. The democratic party are clearly not fascist.

        Totally agree with you here. Also “for show” means that someone is doing a show, which is a weirdly conspiratorial take.

        Yeah, the rich conspire against everyone else and influence both parties in major ways, but the US also is a democracy, you know, where people vote.

          And we know how voting helps American citizens. Spoiler: individualist pure capitalism does not give them socialised welfare benefits, and keeps them in debt and paycheck-to-paycheck slave life routine.

            Voting does help American citizens. Not a lot but it does, there is all kind of legislation which has a positive impact.

            I agree that it’s not enough. I agree that other measures need to be taken if possible.

              Voting only works as intended when the Congress and the elected party officials are not corrupt and not lapdogs of corporations and mafia. That is not the case, hence voting barely benefits citizens, and the democracy there looks like a circus TV show instead of it being an extremely ideal and reputed political structure system on paper.

                It’s not an extremely ideal system on paper even, the US does have a two party democracy which is deeply flawed. Still a democracy though, even if corrupt etc

                  Calling the American system a democracy is an insult to democracy. It is a plutocracy, an individualist warmongering pure capitalist one.

        Democrats are centrist warmongerers and want the American hegemony supremacy. They are not fascist as in nationalistic race supremacy, but as in maintaining the same terrorising and discriminatory foreign policy.

          Yes! They are better than republicans though who would, if they could, bring back racial segregation, probably not even give women a right to vote.

            Trump clearly had given women right to vote. Voting rights being taken away would be a literal axe to Republicans’ own foots, considering how much drums USA beats about Western neoliberal democracy.

              I said if it was feasible they would. If trump would have tried, he would have been impeached and whatever, assassinated, because the US population wouldn’t accept this mostly.

      America is run by libs regardless of partisan affiliation but that you think that’s left does more to get your point across than anything you wrote.

      Free turtle island. Death to America.
