I wonder how people in this country can allow politicians to tell shit to each other every 4 years during elections? Not only that but publicly, politicians discuss important matters about intelligence, national security and other countries (wether allies or enemies). All things that those countries/people should not know. Then the shit show with orange man about the Russian interference during elections and now impeachment with all the shit about nepotism, corruption, etc in each of the two parties. Politics and politicians in US are just shit and I’m so sick of it.
It’s the same as everywhere else. It’s just the nature of people. The sky is blue. The grass is green. Politicians are bullshitters. Just accept the reality.
Canadian politics is a lot less toxic. There is better consensus between political parties relatively.
Nobody stops you from making things better. But accept the reality first.
Actually I would have done away with the rest of the decorum. We need transparency and the unvarnished truth. Say it how it is. When you are a star, they let you do it, as a wise man once said.
I thought US had values and principles, but now I realize is just fake shit. You say no country cares? How about Russia, China, Iran? They get to know more in these shit shows than they should know
US has become DS. Divided States. The urban-rural political chasm has become really toxic and there is no attempt at building a consensus.
Novice politicians and excessively greedy ones pierce the veil that covers up the dirty secrets that people are never meant to see.
We have a fake democracy in the US. You can’t have a genuine democracy with this level of inequality.
Care to elaborate about the inequality? Electoral College vote?
Social and economic inequality. Most things that impact our lives are done behind closed doors in corporate/financial boardrooms and even political governance is done mostly at meetings with lobby groups and so on. This does not create a situation where citizens can be informed and invested in any kind of official democratic process. This leaves public politics like a starving waif... campaigns are a joke because candidates really represent this set of business interests or another; Congress is a joke because lobbyists/think tanks come up with legislation and politicians then back it or not. Voters consciously or subconsciously treat voting as a joke because they know it doesn’t matter.
Welcome to real world.
This is not real world, world used to be better, our generations are making all shitty
This is dirty trick DEM is playing. Don't fall for it.
I think that u r the type of ppl not able to understand things even with examples I clearly provided. Did u see republican debates in last elections where orange man told shit about Rubio and Bush and others just to win? Don’t be dumb, u cannot blame DEM for that. You are just blind to understand this is a whole US issue
I am glad touch skin like Trump is the president so that he can fight back all Democratas bullies.

Asians - what are your thoughts on asian female white male ?
I guess it's just that about half the people feel that they have bottled up racism, and are letting it out. Then there are those who are disenchanted with the political process. This was bound to happen.
25% active racists and another 25% that don’t care that racists exist and support the same people the racists support.
