If only we had elected the man who told us he was the only one who could stop inflation and end the wars and all that jazz. Oh wait, that happened and he made everything worse. Ha, silly me.

        He had a plan called “Project 2025” and he’s followed it to the letter.

          Please remind me… Who was in office when Qadaffi’s gouvernement was overthrown, and which US admin fomented that civil war?

          Assad?

          Who was president during the Bosnia - Serbia conflict?

          You know what, take a look at this:

          The United States is a terrorist state, under any political party. And they’ve been coming for us since founding, too. It’s just noticeable, now.

              The point is, politicians look out for business interests, not regular people’s interest.

                But your comment said nothing about business interests only spoke of wars. Not even a mention of how those wars could benefit those business interests. I must assume you are either a bot or lost. Not that i necessarily disagree with you, you just seem to be having the wrong argument for the topic at hand. Even if we were to say all choices made by the US are for business interests, youre still not making the connection.

                  If they murder brown kids for rotten dino bodies, murder you for insurance profits, they will absolutely murder you for power company profits. It’s not that large of a leap.

                It just helps me curating my user tags / block lists. May help others as well, idk. Thanks for your cooperation!

                  Whatever you do, listen to the business interests, who own media, factories, and politicians. Never, ever apply critical reading, thinking*, or discussion in good faith. It’s… Unpatriotic, or something.

                  Thanks for misgendering me, as well.

      I think that campaigning should be completely banned. Give voters their platform and voting history, and that’s it.
