    ITT Europeans tell us shit we already know about changes most of us want because they don’t understand gerrymandering and the electoral college

      Are you implying all those things shared here are correct, well known, yet irrelevant because the political system itself grew irremediably broken?

      “most of us want”

      The recent election demonstrates that less than half of you want anything close to that.

        Again betraying that you don’t understand how stacked shit is… 70m is like 20% of our population.

          And even less than that could be arsed to vote for anything close to what “most of you” want.

      What they don’t understand is why you don’t rise up and set fire to a broken system as is tradition.

      And don’t start with that oppression shit, go read the history of every revolution ever. You just don’t wanna.

        Because the country is to big to put together the riots you guys have. If I want to join a protest outside the white house I am going to have to take time off work. And if i do that my family might starve. They got a really good system here. They don’t need even shoot people. Just let us starve. They do shoot too though.

            Isn’t a vast majority of your county’s population in the east coast?

          Didn’t nation wide protests happen in the past?

            But their effectiveness is limited. George Floyd’s killer might be getting early. All that just to get one guy to go to prison for a bit.

              Effectiveness of every protest is limited, it’s not like in other countries they magically solve all the issues
