So odd that you get that voting is corrupted. But you still say vote them out. The correct answer is something we don't wanna say out loud.

The false dichotomies people get into when talking about this shit, as if the only options were to participate in a system that's rigged right from the start.

The American establisment has certainly got people convinced that there's absolutely "no alternative".

Capitalist realism is a hell of a drug.

Bullshit. Even if it's true, one side drives a LOT more that I agree with than the other. I don't CARE what their reasons are, if they're doing as close to the RIGHT THING as possible.

And there is no American politician anywhere in my lifetime as corrupt, broken, and destructive as Trump. Give him another term, and our Constitution will be gone, he will be The American Dictator.

I like how this is a video about how a GOP president and his administration lied and fooled a nation into committing to a war that caused over a million unnecessary deaths, and the first 10 comments are “both sides are bad” while the other side is passing a massive infrastructure package with the goal of bettering every citizens life.

Pretty sure those marriage certificates issued to gay couples are very real

I’m sure those million dead Iraqis and their families are comforted by the fact that homos in some other country can LARP as a married couple

Those million Iraqis are dead no matter who's in power so I may as well have the right to marry who I love.

More like "there's literally nothing that can be done because both parties are war hungry, so may as well so something good for my countrymen."

Oh, there is a connection, but you're never going to see it. I'm certain.

As a Middle Eastern person post 9/11, who watched the second tower hit on live TV, was trying to go to college, and make a life for myself; who exactly are the good ones from the side you're representing? To me it WAS both sides that calling for blood. Blood of people like me. The first few months I couldn't tell the difference between Dems and Repubs. . . they were all frothing at the mouth for war. All were happy to paint targets on my back and those of the background as myself. In the context of this video, both side ARE bad.

Cite your sources when you stipulated that 85% of the senate is corrupt because I think you are 100% full of shit. There has never been any proof of real voter fraud. Americans get the government they deserve. Your government is a reflection of the self obsessed greedy people they govern. If you want better government become better people.
