You didn't answer my question

You assume that voting will make a difference but it won't. Not only because most of us don't live in swing states but also, because voting doesn't change American politics. Biden showed us that. Hell, Obama showed us, America is still gonna be it's ugly self no matter who's in the oval office.

I refuse to keep pretending that a blue guy in charge is meaningfully better. They just talk nicer and give the people here a couple more things.

I want everyone to demand what they actually want, not settle for the guys who seem better than those other douchebags.

Your proposal is terrible lol

It's plenty sane, just not built for the success of regular people.

I love to see it

I think the poll question was about support of the new government's policies. I can't answer the second question as I have no idea how this poll was done.

The world is way more exploitative than you seem to recognize. I suggest researching unequal exchange.

"Beyond this, outright corruption has also played a part in maintaining the postcolonial order. Françafrique has comprised countries notorious for human rights violations, including Niger. Subservient puppet leaders ignored democratic progress in return for massive aid programmes. Bribes have been paid via arms deals and other help with security, and – of course – in hard cash that has been laundered."

Exactly! Both parties are owned.

Did you expect different? Biden ran as an centrist establishment candidate and he's been exactly that. Anyway, in general, trashing the environment is something both parties agree on but it's more acceptable for Dems to do. They get to claim "we had to do this but I promise we're gonna incrementally slow it down, next year..."

I need someone smarter than me to come up with all the ways this could go wrong. It sounds cool to me but I don't know anything

This is hilarious! It's also ridiculous that tactics like this is what government is.

I wish it were bigger because I'm thinking the same thing
