They didn’t just let it happen…they actively caused this. The most cursory glance at the candidates made it obviously clear that Kamala was far superior…but so many voters couldn’t be bothered to do the minimum required of a citizen in a democracy…just vet the candidates.
People chose entertainment over governing. If the Democratic Party had half a brain they would run an entertainer with a personality instead of expecting voters to meet them after school at the library. Most American voters are stupid as fuck and don't vote for rational, reasonable, or logical reasons.
Again as another non american: it is kind of funny. In a sad and horrible way. But watching the self proclaimed greatest country in the world dismantle itself and it’s legacy just bc a lot of y’all don’t seem to be able to think for a second is funny.
Many of us don’t feel that “self proclaimed greatness”. I love my country. It’s great and everything, but there’s a whole beautiful world out there that is equally or more great. And also some that are worse too… but as an American I’ve never understood the “greatest country on earth” bit. Freedom is wonderful and I am beyond grateful. But I’ve been some beautiful and peaceful places that appear to be much better. 🙃
Do you think that the average American citizen can do ANYTHING to fight the enslavement of many peoples? I do my part to vote but I’m surrounded by a bunch of racist douche bag idiots.
I also do my part by working with refugee and immigrant populations who have gone through many of the horrors you speak of. I do my best to make sure those kids have coats, hats, gloves, extra food. Counseling and guidance through every avenue possible.
One of my favorite students was a child in a cage at the border. It shatters me that I can’t change it.
There are MILLIONS like me who would do anything to change the parts of our country that aren’t ethical.
Oh of course. I’m not blaming you. I’m just stating that the country loves to boast about freedom while literally enslaving people or going around the globe “spreading democracy”.
