Ik it's a naive thing to say

2018-12-20 22:16:46 UTC  

But I might as well try

2018-12-20 22:17:04 UTC  

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

2018-12-20 22:17:22 UTC  

The rotation is what makes democracy good.

2018-12-20 22:18:30 UTC  

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

2018-12-20 22:18:45 UTC  

Problem is that neither party can be assed

2018-12-20 22:20:18 UTC  

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

2018-12-20 22:22:37 UTC  

@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.

2018-12-20 22:23:14 UTC  

Of course, Democracy is the best thing we havd

2018-12-20 22:23:32 UTC  

And both politicians and the public are to blame

2018-12-20 22:23:55 UTC  

Politicians influence the public and the public blindly follows them

2018-12-20 22:24:36 UTC  

Orwell made so many jokes about this in 1984

2018-12-20 22:24:56 UTC  

A masterpiece btw (albeit despressing)

2018-12-20 22:30:48 UTC  

@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.

2018-12-20 22:31:26 UTC  

People are easy to manipulate

2018-12-20 22:31:26 UTC  

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

2018-12-20 22:31:29 UTC  

They're fickle

Damn!

2018-12-21 15:24:53 UTC  

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

2018-12-21 16:12:12 UTC  

own != proud

2018-12-21 16:12:23 UTC  

do you understand terminology and context?

2018-12-21 16:14:38 UTC  

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

2018-12-21 16:14:45 UTC  

So yes I do understand context

2018-12-21 16:17:47 UTC  

$5? damn congress should have coughed up

2018-12-21 16:18:32 UTC  

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

2018-12-21 16:19:57 UTC  

$5 Billion

2018-12-21 16:20:10 UTC  

$5 billion is chump change

2018-12-21 16:21:01 UTC  

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

2018-12-21 16:21:36 UTC  

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

2018-12-21 16:21:42 UTC  

Maga am I right?

2018-12-21 16:22:03 UTC  

you are flat out wrong

2018-12-21 16:22:09 UTC  

the demos have a mjority in the house

2018-12-21 16:22:16 UTC  

Not until January

2018-12-21 16:22:21 UTC  

> controls all the branches of government -- false.

2018-12-21 16:22:29 UTC  

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

2018-12-21 16:23:20 UTC  

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

"The Democrats, whose votes we need in the Senate, will probably vote against Border Security and the Wall even though they know it is DESPERATELY NEEDED. If the Dems vote no, there will be a shutdown that will last for a very long time. People don’t want Open Borders and Crime!"
