I am tired of this world, these people. I am tired of being caught in the tangle of their lives.
Do you think Americans were not bombing brown people when Democrats were in power? Didn't Obama get a Nobel Peace Prize while having a top score in drone kill strikes? Lol. The empire is evil and murderous, regardless of who's playing the part of the leader.
Obama was awarded the Nobel only nine months into his first term, so he hadn't really had the chance to rack up the requisite number of war crimes to be awarded the peace prize.
No we aren’t. Biden did it.
The only thing I remember Biden did regarding oil was keeping protected lands from oil drilling while also drilling more in other public US lands.
I'm not sure what you're referring to.
How Americans don't take this as a sign that their electoralism is always bound for failure will forever remain a mystery to me. You emerge from the fallout of Republican leaders by voting democrats and joyously claim, "the storm has passed" and "we should never repeat these mistakes". Come 8 or so years and a Republican is re-elected.
How have you guys not en masse realized that democratic reign is merely a refractory period for Republican governance? Why have you not organized and promoted other parties? The greens are slow and will take a lot of work to build, but Rome wasn't built in a day. This cycle will continue until you've en masse woken up to the real contradictions driving your politics.
Spiel over!
First we need to excise the foreign influence from the Greens though, which is probably harder than just starting over again. Which doesn't fix the problem with first past the post voting systems which mathematically make it almost impossible for one ideology to win if they have more candidates that an opposing ideology. That's where the fight has to start, grass roots voting reform to more represational systems like STAR. Get it in locally, and then push it up from there. Then new parties will be allowed to flourish, instead of just torpedoing their platform by splitting the votes.
"If you'd have cared from the start, none of this would've happened."
Question that will enrage everyone:
What would you do with $8/gallon gas (in the US where there is very very little public transport). Many many people would be totally fucked.
There's a reason this happens unfortunately, there's prices to pay for modern life, just like the slave labor that built all of our electronics and clothing.
