    As a European,

    Wtf.

    Like how can you ask for perfection when you have so much BS going on in a country

      As a fellow European I’m equally baffled.

      True, the Harris-Walz ticket isn’t amazing on all fronts and atrocious in some. But even their turd sandwich is better than whatever the GQP has cooked up. And there’s a tiny chance at progressivism with the Dems, but none with the Rs.

      glances at the state of European politics

      How can you talk shit when Kier Starmer, Emanuel Macron, and Olaf Schultz are your idea of good-enough liberal compromise? And why do these liberal centrists (in the US and Europe both) keep producing larger and larger factions of popular fascist movements?

      Liberals have made “perfect” synonymous with “good”. Candidates like Corbyn and Melancion were the compromise, but y’all couldn’t resist selling your democracies down the river for another decade of dirt cheap imports.

        Not at all. In general the political climate is terrible. I can talk shit because I’m not afraid to do so. You see I do have rights, and that’s something Americans are about to lose. That worries me.

        And chosing between two evils is a bad position to be in, but they can still chose. What I don’t understand is why the American people are so reluctant to choose for freedom under democracy, albeit shabby, over a dictatorship with a senile maniac that hasn’t worked a day in his life. He’s everything parents warn children about, yet the parents still chose him. Wtf?

        WHAT!? I CANNOT HEAR YOU ON MY TWO WEEK, LAW MANDATED, FULLY PAYED VACATION.

        And even if I shot my left ball the hospital would be free.
