Oh no, the president is fash, we elected him democratically. Time to give up without doing anything I guess, there is no way to elect anyone democratically.

I’m gonna stay posting this. We didn’t elect this mess. This is what we actually voted for.

Let me know how that ‘popular vote’ that barely includes half the population goes next time.

That’s how democracy in US works. It’s a bit of a shitty democracy for historical reasons, but knew that before the election, it’s not a secret. That’s not even the biggest problem with it. It is a democracy nonetheless.

Your argument is: ‘It’s a different flavor of democracy…?’ That’s some Republic of North Korea level denialism.

What do you mean you dont have a democracy? You just aren’t allowed to vote on,
-Corporate taxes -Gun and militia rights -Getting rid of mass surveillance -Ownership of your own data -Workers having time off work -Grassroot prosecutions of the rich and powerful by citizens -Anonymity online -Free speech -The right to access information -The foreign policy of the U.S -How many cops and prisons your country should have -Locally run elections and rational districting or abolishing the electoral collage -Not having 500 separate taxes for the honest and poor working man -Whether you should be allowed to buy medicine outside the medical cartel -Immigration -Transparency in the state process -Reinstituring the constitution above laws and executive orders -Removing controversial or dirtbags politicians from office -Banning corporate lobbying, making the electoral process public and transparent. -Not having tracking devices forced into every device you own and even your car. -whether you have to get skin cancer by not having window tint so CCTV can pick up your face as you drive by -Dmca and copyright -banning HOAs -Getting rid of state backed paper currencies -Owning and rooting devices you own.
But don’t worry you can vote to take away each others human rights every election depending on how many of you are loyal and show up to vote for your elections. You are free to vote to strip trans people of rights one year, and Christians of rights the next year. You can strip hispanics of rights one year and white people of rights the next year. You can always vote for less corporate taxes! And more taxes for yourself. You can always vote to make your neighborhood safer by having policecorp tm and Black Rock come manage your security! Lots of homeless people out there these days. Policecorp would like to remind you to watch 15 minutes of advertising four times per day to get 15% off your security package from all those pesky homeless people who are too lazy to work 12 hour shifts in the papermill for snack money like you God fearing patriotic Americans.
