Don't hate on the Americans, hate on their leaders
The leaders that enough Americans voted for?
It's even easier to put words in my mouth and then try to claim some form of superiority, but hey, you do you.
The trick is to keep your comments vague enough that you can respond to any criticism with "that's not what I'm saying, learn to read". Notice that at no point do they explain what they actually mean, though. Only that all criticism of their point, whatever that might be, is wrong.
Naw, the trick is to twist a basic comment into a three paragraph rant, include tons of "facts" that aren't there, and then try to rage bait others into your made up "argument".
Even better when the original person does explain what they meant and others don't bother to read it, but fully engage in the rage bait.
If the text you quoted (requoted below because you seem to have a strained relationship with truth) is what you call rage bait, I can't help but wonder what your take on actual rage bait might be.
You seem to have an issue with linear time. Your edit explaining your stance came a few minutes after my comment pointing out the suspicious lack of details. I'd love an explanation about how I was supposed to know your future edit was coming.
We all know what you're doing.
You said the "leaders that Americans elected". In response to a statement that not all Americans are responsible.
So you're either disingenuous or genuinely stupid.
Again, putting words in my mouth. If thats what helps you feel better about yourself, thats fine.
Though, to help clarify my comment that you want to falsify into something that i didnt actually say, I'm just pointing out that some Americans aren't completely faultless of Trump as he couldn't have gotten into the White House without enough voting him in. That's it.
As to going forward, which side should do what, and everything else, I didn't say nor imply anything, thats just what you're projecting onto me.
The system was rigged from the start, you can only get close to running for prez if you're:
America can't get good options, except through occasional flukes of luck, against the odds events
They are only ever presented with a choice between a douche and a turd
God South Park really fucked over a lot of people, huh?
A incredibly rare case of SP actually being inciteful
No, it's probably South Park biggest fuck up. Lazy, holier than thou bullshit that convinced absolute fucking dumbasses such as yourself that Harris is the same as a convicted felon pedophile who is currently destroying the country and all our alliances and trade relationships.
If you think they're the "same" it's a wonder you have enough intelligence to dress yourself in the morning.
How do you look at what's going on and say it's the "same" as when Biden was in office. How can you allow yourself to be that fucking stupid?
Calm your tits edgelord.
And you obviously missed the point of the episode, last I checked a literal piece of shit is worse than a bit of a wanker.
All Americans voted for him?
Maybe you're less intelligent than you had assumed, huh?
I know, read is hard. But try reading my comment again.
Leaders = voted-for representatives. They were elected by the people to represent the people.
Where I live, we codified anti-gerrymandering into the state constitution. Didn't stop republicans from pushing a blatantly unconstitutional district map. The response was "well, we'll review it, but it's our only option". It feels like they're saying "fuck you, there's nothing you can do to stop us", and short of blatant political violence? I think they are right.
Many of these people weren't even legally elected to their positions. They do not represent us. Our state and federal governments have been corrupted and abused by people with huge amounts of capital, for many many decades now.
also massive propaganda apparatus by FOX and russia plus voter suppression methods that downturns voting behaviour too.
Lol, I like the fantasy land in which you inhabit.
Leaders = people who the people were forced to make a choice between only bad options, that nobody wanted, and your votes not mattering at all if you're in a place where they've done dirty tricks like gerrymandering and vote prevention
This idea that only the presidential election matters in the US is wild. Does the senate and congress just sit there doing nothing? Could all of this have been prevented if the political scene wasn't already shifted all the way towards Trumpism?
The prez has the power to add people to the senate, which is a job for Life, and Trump stacked the deck in his favour the last time he was in power
The fantasy land is called Earth and it has the worst lore of all the worlds
1/3 voted for him and 1/3 didn't care enough to vote to keep him out.
If you know your child is in the room with a known rapist, and you don't intervene and remove the child from the room, and the child gets raped, whose fault is it the child got raped?
Obviously everyone except the child. Now what about if your only option is another room where another abuser won't assault your child but will hire someone to sexuality assault your siblings children in plain view of you and yours?
Not saying trump or inaction were good choices, just that it wasn't an easy one for a good many folk, and i felt sick to my stomache voting dem that year. Though i can't remember feeling a different way about voting dem, just that it was Not the Other Guy^TM^
How many decades in a row can you fuck up until we blame Americans?
I ain't American mate, don't tar me with that brush
Sorry that was rude
Are you just too stupid to know what democracy is or something?
No response you fucking coward?
The reluctance of americans to apply their laws to the billionaires is creating these monsters.
Nah it's been around far longer, billionaire oligarchs are just the newest head of the hydra
