@TheBritishGamer ❤🔑 (Meh) that's not how democracy works. My article on it comes out tomorrow. Want the preview?

Ik it's a naive thing to say

But I might as well try

Because what is the point of anything if we do not try all we can

The rotation is what makes democracy good.

But people suffer and that's the problem. I want competition between the two parties. A competition of which party can get the best policies for the people

Problem is that neither party can be assed

Both parties (both in the US and UK) are content with being half-assed and getting votes because lesser of two evils

@TheBritishGamer ❤🔑 (Meh) people will always suffer, but in democracy it happens a hell of a lot less.

There is plenty of competition between the two parties, the problem is not the politicians but the public. A country doesn't operate well when you have uninformed, greedy half-wits voting in the elections.

Of course, Democracy is the best thing we havd

And both politicians and the public are to blame

Politicians influence the public and the public blindly follows them

Orwell made so many jokes about this in 1984

A masterpiece btw (albeit despressing)

@TheBritishGamer ❤🔑 (Meh) as much as I love to give Trump s***, I usually don't blame the politicians. It is our job as the electorate is to keep our politician's in check, we have failed to do so.

People are easy to manipulate

GG @TheBritishGamer ❤🔑 (Meh), you just advanced to level 9!

They're fickle

Damn!

I didn’t think trumps pledge to drain the swamp would be to bring all the swamp monsters into the White House and let muller just go to town on them... he’s playing 3d chess y’all

own != proud

do you understand terminology and context?

Did you watch the video? Because I watched it live, and he multiple times said if he didn’t get $5 from congress for a wall (that Mexico was supposed to pay for) that he’d be proud to shut down the government and would own it

So yes I do understand context

$5? damn congress should have coughed up

so yes they do own the shutdown if the dems vote against his bill

$5 Billion

$5 billion is chump change

Well pretty stupid of him to publicly proclaim he’d accept responsibility if he doesn’t get the money then isn’t it.

Even more hilarious is his party controls all the branches of government and he can’t even get his #1 priority funded with chump change

Maga am I right?

you are flat out wrong

the demos have a mjority in the house

Not until January

> controls all the branches of government -- false.

But you know don’t let the facts get in the way

Paul Ryan is still the speaker, it’s a lame duck session but new members don’t take office until 2019 so yeah...
