You okay, US? Been removing voting locales, preventing people from getting hydrated when standing in line, literally trying to prevent the end of an election cycle and now... this.

Democracy, does that mean anything anymore over there, or is it just decorative?

    We're are learning that building a government based on the idea that the members of that government will act in good faith was fucking stupid.

    Here's to hoping we can figure out how to solve the bad-faith problem without Civil War 2: Electric Boogaloo.

    You know, I've heard it said that democracies founded in Europe after WW2 had an advantage because they could see the result of mistakes in the USA's founding.

    Like clearly X, Y, and Z was a mistake that they couldn't have known at the time - but now we know better, so let's not repeat that.
