    What a naively stated belief in a country with a clearly broken democracy. Actually, not a democracy, a Republic.

    You people have two parties only (FUCKING TWO!), both of which are in bed with billionaires, both of which are basically run by super pacs filled with elites and bagmen.

    The only good thing that ever happened to America was the revolution and the amazing ideals that came from there. The USA could have gone the Bolshevist route and Washington a dictator, but it had higher goals for a liberal democracy. And then corporations turned it into a pig’s trough.

    The most ironic thing about America is you’re obsessed with your slave-owning founding fathers but I am certain they would be revolted at what you’ve built for yourselves in 2023.

      You really think the American Revolution created or had good ideals? Like, it was made by slave owners who wanted to evade British taxes
