I don't think Americans pity anybody else's tax rate. You don't think most Americans don't know our for-profit healthcare system sucks? Do you think Americans honestly want to launch GoFundMes? SCOTUS has made it all but impossible for actual Americans to do fuck-all about anything. Citizens United basically allowed every politician to be openly bought and paid for.

Edit for the benefit of my European brothers and sisters:

We do not have a parliament. We are not even a democracy.

We are a Constitutional Republic. Our President isn't even democratically elected!

We elect State "Electors" that in-turn ELECT the President.

And there is FUCK-ALL any American citizen (or even group of Americans) can do to change or fix things WHEN WE HAVE A SUPREME COURT THAT IS ACTIVELY WORKING AGAINST US.

I think that's the biggest thing Europeans dont have a grasp on.

@mike @davidaugust still the people need to vote for them.

Also you can still get anyone elected in the primaries if you show up with your buddies and organize the show.

How do you think the republican party got so tea partied/magafied that the classical business republican from the 90s and 00s doesn't really hold any sway there anymore?

@missqarnstein @davidaugust
How about you worry more about your own Country's politics and worry less about ours and painting 350 million Americans with the same brush?

99.9% of the people you are bitching about here did not vote for that son-of-a-bitch, and frankly we're tired of being of being put in his same fascist bucket.

OUR ELECTIONS ARE RIGGED. Or did you not know this already?

Texas is not a deeply red State, it is very much in-fact a very PURPLE State with a huge democratic voting bloc, but the Republicans in Texas love gerrymandering more than they love our Constitution, and sadly we have a Supreme Court (that we can NOT vote for) siding with the fascists.

There is frankly nothing an American voter can do when our own fucking Supreme Court is against us.

@mike @davidaugust i stop caring about your shitty politics once we're no longer a vassal state of your fascist hellhole.

Yes your systems are rigged but it's only possible because the population is either apathetic, overworked, or too inconvenienced to involve themselves or they flat out agree with white american supremacy.

@mike @davidaugust @missqarnstein boohoo participate, put your people in the primaries, in schools, participate.

And why do we bother? Cause your country causes shit that we have to deal with. Go fight some oligarchs and techbros instead of rolling over and whining that everything is rigged.

@davidaugust @missqarnstein @deedo
Again, there you go painting 350,000,000 Americans with the same broad brush.

Europe has its own fascist and autocratic leanings. Take care of your own back yards first.

Blocked. Because I am fucking sick and tired of Europeans telling us what we should fucking do.

Americans really don't like accountability at all. (Just saying because i'm getting unblocked, receive a rage post, and getting blocked again.) 🤷‍♀️
