Huh... so Spain can do it.... but "the greatest country in the world" causing civil unrest, killing people on boats, killing people in camps, killing children in a war nobody asked for, killing people for asking too many questions, letting people die from hunger or homelessness and inadequate access to healthcare et cetera--you are legit fucking telling me--cannot do this very same thing?

When will it end guys? How many more people need to die for us to turn things around like Spain did? Did you guys see all those kids in France? Those are children . They're fighting our fucking fight.

election comment
If I read the article right, it sounds like there is some reason to believe that some conservative person is going to wind up holding power in Spain and turn it away from being a socialist democracy. That part sucks. Then again, I know nothing about politics in Spain or Europe and therefore cannot comment on that with insight and won't pretend to.
