Always find it funny that they keep calling the US an experiment, but also getting upset that it keeps failing
That's how experiments work, they work or they don't and you're supposed to learn something from that
Let's see if wealth is positively correlated with happiness. The control-group is 99% of the population.
It really bothers me when people say "we learned a lot from the axis experiments from world war two" because no we didn't, not even remotely. We learned maybe a few things about the upper or lower limits of starvation, but we didn't need to learn that because we already saw wasting diseases and had an idea of how it worked. Plus we only learned how to bring people back from the brink by allied experiments. I guess we did learn that women with their legs bound can't give birth, but we kinda already knew that. The american experiment is similar, it has taught us things like how much rat poop you can get away with putting in sausages or how much lsd it takes to kill a socialist, but nothing useful.
Bro it was illegal for the majority of people to vote for most of that 246 years
Libs like Reiner should get a cattle prod-level electric shock each and every time they use the word "vote". Imagine him on Real Time...
"Bill, what I tell people to do over and over is vote... That hurts! I know I'm not supposed to say it but if you don't vote... Oh, my god - the pain! Okay, listen I think it's kosher to say 'electoral and voting systems'. So - it's safe. I just want to check again - 'electoral and voting systems'. So - what people need to do is utilize their 'electoral and vot—`. Sweet mother of fuck! That was even worse."
Disembodied voice: "Do not attempt to cheat. Cheating results in greater punishment."
"Darn it all to hell. I don't know what to say. I've tried nothing and I'm already out of ideas..."
our 246 year Democratic experiment in self rule
lol who is "our" and who is "self." even by rad lib standards this is pathetic
I wouldn't even call a functional democracy "self-rule".
The point of a democracy isn't supposed to be the exaltation of the individual it's supposed to be the benefit of the majority.
246 year anniversary of voting because youre scared not because you find any other reason to good democracy
Like, how is it non-obvious that the perpetuation of the system for 246 years is what led to this precipice?
If fascism is even remotely an option, it's time to purge.
Bad things come out of nowhere. Fascism in America was born when Trump ran for president. Putin randomly invaded Ukraine completely unprovoked.
Multi party democracy is so much better than a single party dictatorship because if you dont maintain a single party dictatorship of the "good" party by voting for them every 2 years it will become fascism
our 246 year Democratic experiment
Tyranny of fascism
:same-picture:
it's just gonna be the same fucking messaging every two years from now for all of eternity
:inshallah-script: the GOP will shoot us all and spare us the indignity.
These midterms will determine whether we want to preserve our 246 year Tyranny of Fascism.
These midterms will determine whether we want to preserve our 246 years of fascism towards marginalized groups or if we're going to start doing it to good suburban white people too.
Imagine thinking Biden could be clearer. What, did he get lost on the way off of the speaking podium again? And wander around lost? Again?
Honey it's 4pm, time for the most important election of our lifetimes!
