Americans don't vote for things they want

Americans vote to take things away from other people

They just get surprised when they realize that they are the 'other people'

This is such a clear, succinct description of the ultimate end state of FPTP voting. Nice.

For anyone that wants to know, the movie that the top image is taken from is Lord Of War, and the person shaped shadow in the background is Nicholas Cage. Leto plays his coke head brother.

Great movie. Definitely worth a watch. Apparently, for the scene where they had hundreds of AK-47s it was cheaper to buy real ones than make prop ones.

Depending on where you get the AK, the only difference between the prop and the real on might be a bolt lol Chinese AKs are mostly plastic, I think.
