    As somebody from the US, I can’t wait to see our country fall. The world isn’t going stand by and let us fuck with them anymore

        As much as I hate to say it, I fully agree. We need something drastic to happen so that the population will open its eyes.

        On a completely separate topic, I think states need to become a lot more independent from the federal government. I’m in NY for example and I’ve never felt prouder of my state than right now

          Most red states would collapse. Not that I care anymore. They’re leeches.

        This kind of goes as a warning over what happens when a democracy isn’t set up in such a way to prevent this thing from happening. Just getting rid of first past the post elections could’ve helped in preventing this and had given us a more balanced government that wouldn’t have been so easily captured by moneyed interests.

          The electoral college was actually intended to prevent this exact scenario. Of course, it failed spectacularly.
