The price is that the US might overthrow your government if they don’t like the outcome of an election.
/u/outwrangle before everything went to shit in 2020, /u/emma_lazarus for a while after that, now I’m all queermunist!

Let me be clear then: the US military is a force for evil and anything that weakens it is positive for the rest of the world.
Privatize everything and lay off all government employees. Let the Department of War be run by the lowest bidder.
Well there is no reasonable expectation that voting for Harris improves anything given her explicit statement she’s going to be just Biden in a wig.
That’s not true!
She promised to be different by appointing Republicans🤣
Wrong. Give an ape a gun. They’re just as likely to kill themselves as anyone else.
It’s not flawed, it’s been working exactly as it was intended our entire lives. Unless you were alive for WW2, the purpose of the military has been to spread misery and death. I’d call it one of the most evil institutions in the face of the Earth.
I’m not optimistic. Trump won’t be allowed to destroy the military. He will weaken it, though, and that can only be a good thing.
Hence, saving the world from the Pentagon.
Those checks and balances didn’t stop them from butchering a million Iraqis.
An orange toddler breaks his toys. Fuck em
The military is already struggling to recruit and moves like this will only delegitimize our military even more. I’m sure they’ll always be able to find goons to wield guns, but it will cease to be a respectable career path for all but the most right-wing citizenry.
It’s not all bad.
You say that like I should want the US military to be effective.
I have a different hope, that Trump will ruin their actual offensive capacity and save the world from the Pentagon. The US can not be trusted with its own military.
The inherent implication is that every man that is killed deserves it, whether that’s the intended implication or not.
Almost the entire Knesset.
More like an “agreement”
We are so back. 😂
I have one that’s like a four leaf clover. It’s sick 👍
During the Biden-Harris years, more granular data pointed to considerable strain. Real median household income fell relative to its pre-COVID peak. The poverty rate ticked up, as did the jobless rate. The number of Americans spending more than 30 percent of their income on rent climbed. The delinquency rate on credit cards surged, as did the share of families struggling to afford enough nutritious food, as did the rate of homelessness.
Government transfers buoyed families early in the Biden administration. But they contributed to inflation, and much of the money went away in the second half of Biden’s term. The food-stamp boost, the extended child tax credit, the big unemployment-insurance payments—each expired. And the White House never passed the permanent care-economy measures it had considered.
Interest rates were a problem too. The mortgage rate more than doubled during the Biden-Harris years, making credit-card balances, car payments, and homes unaffordable. A family purchasing a $400,000 apartment with 20 percent down would pay roughly $2,500 a month today versus $1,800 three years ago.
I dunno, that all looks pretty bad too. The lesson from this election is that you can’t tunnel vision on the numbers that look good while dismissing the ones that look bad, but that’s exactly what Democrats did. Worse, when working class voters expressed their pain, Democrats talked down to them and basically told them it wasn’t real and they were being tricked by fake news.
Is Nick Fuentes an innocent bystander?
Yes, I’m sure the presence of Pine Ridge had nothing to do with it. The CIA never coordinates with the US military after all.
Okay, how about the US service members that keep sexually assaulting women in Japan?
