    The US won’t be alright even after a few dem presidents. There are way deeper issues.

      Hmm. I forgot US voters don’t actually have a great choice…

      Hey. Voting for the least shittiest option is a start for the people, yeah? 👍 Chin up! They’ve done it a few times, they’ll do it again. Hopefully not needing a WW to piggyback on this time, despite all current attempts.

      Accountability and freedom and all of that stuff that made the world envious of the idea for a good run! It’s still there and always has been!!

      Remember the Constitution! (And the amendments… definitely need those…in their literal form too… Plenty that could be enacted rn)

        The biggest thing is voting in every election, not just generals or presidential elections. Primaries, local, special elections… they all have abyssmal turnout. Which is generally why the US has such awful choices… they only show up for the final decision, not every decision leading up to it.

      Why is everyone so sure there will ever be another dem pres? Our entire voting system has been rigged, gerrymandered, and stolen. Are we all pretending to forget this? We’re literally not sure chickenshit barron won’t get elected a third time… The rule of law is gone. The constitution means nothing.
