    I knew the American public was fucking stupid but I didn’t think they would continue declining this quickly.

      You public is equally stupid, i guarantee it. Neoliberal parties are cratering across the globe because they are advocating for the system that is grinding everyone down. Labour, the SDP, and Rennasisance, are all getting clobbered in the polls because they keep advocating for the same failed system that led us to the mess we are in now. Hell, Italians keep voting for Mussolini’s literal centerold granddaughter. Or the Dirch voting for PVV, or Hungary and Orban, or PiS in Poland. And since Western powers have spent the last 80 years crushing any actual leftist policies, people everywhere are supporting rightwing parties because they are the loudest voices offering a change. what is happening on America is happening all across Europe right now. Or are American voters responsible for how people in Europe vote as well?

        Throwing a wrench in the system is basically the only option anyone has so are we surprised the critical mass of pissed off people vaguely racist opinions are doing so?

          Oh, so it’s only America that is stupid. Europeans are incredibly rational when their far right fascists poll better than centrist liberals.

          People like you are bigots. The only group of people it’s okay to hate. Because you choose to be how you are.

            Oh okay, you’re literally sitting there saying that leftist political parties don’t represent anyone and that violent uprising is the only option but I’m the bigot, that tracks have a nice life.
