Not American - Got it, why don't you go sit in the corner and be quiet then.
I suspect that most of those bases have become paper tigers, if the state of the Abraham Lincoln is any indication.
Yeah, but your map needs updating. There are a lot less us bases in the middle east now.
Because your country is making a shit show in the entire world.
Why don't you as a bare minimum get your CO2 under control instead of being selfish assholes.
And as another minimum requirement, stop supporting genocide and start illegal wars.
But I guess you are one of the morons who are either complicit or don't care.
Come over here and make us then if its so easy. Show us "how its done". Shit you could probably even be back to your home country in a week the way you make it sound.
He claims his home country has no problems so he conveniently doesn't need to get off his couch. He's not even an activist. He's very confident that the process works.
You know nothing, yet you have so much to say…
Many environmental regulations and green energy initiatives were torn asunder by executive orders, i.e. outside of the legislative process. On top of that, the courts (unelected positions at the federal level) and the majority Republican/conservative Congress has allowed/enacted redistricting that weakens areas that are leaning left and strengthens right leaning strongholds. That weakens voters’ ability to counteract regressive ballot measures and/or bills. A common political tactic used in Congress is to add an unpopular clause or initiative to a popular bill to Trojan horse bad policy or to kill a bill meant to enact popular changes You should read about how the Stop Insider Trading Act was paired with a wildly unpopular voter registration requirement -

What I’m getting at is that bad actors in our government have been using legal loopholes to avoid using the legislative process, where they would never get support for the policies that are being forced through now. We haven’t even started talking about the Supreme Court… so please, stop talking down to the people who would be your allies if you could let go of your anger and pride. Many, if not most, Americans are unhappy with the government’s actions domestically and abroad, but organizing a national movement like you’re referring to requires major coordination, education, and resources; all of which are difficult to marshal in a country as geographically large and demographically heterogeneous as the US. It also doesn’t help that federal funding for social services and many social goods are being reduced or eliminated, so now us poors have to figure out how to fill the gaps within our communities. Organizing starts with being neighborly and, brother, you’re being a bad neighbor.
