I don’t understand how anyone thinks an 81 year old person should be leader of a nation. And will they ever produce good stuff instead of what they’ve been trying and failing to do for so many years and it hurts the people.

When will they help the citizens instead of funding the military and fancy projects that waste money, cutting taxes for billionaires and raising them for the poor, cut social security, cut medicare, cut this, cut that, more money to the military.

So messed up.

I don’t know good places to find accurate news.

    “Starting over” a country tends to result in a lot violence and bloodshed and quite often makes things worse.

    The fact of the matter is that, for many many people, dealing with a somewhat shitty status quo is a much more attractive option than taking a gamble that a revolution doesn’t result in catastrophe, and you can’t really say they’re wrong for that.

      Scrap what doesn’t work and keep what does.

      It doesn’t have to be all or nothing. And it doesn’t have to be violent.

      I mean, good luck with the tension between D and R, but companies can form and grow successful without blood or death (**there are some…).

      Using the creation and growth of a company as my analogy is meant to remind that peolle work together all the time without bloodshed* to create great things.

      Government could be that way if people cooperated and listened to each other.
