Does the lesson of you are not special have to be learned one at a time forever?
Why do you think we're in this situation? Practically, the majority of Americans can only learn things the hard way.
All humans, not just Americans.
Wait, are you telling me that I'm not going to suddenly be the person making more than 3 million dollars a year for no reason other than going to work every day, having a good attitude, and trying to climb the ranks?
I only need to average a $1442/hr wage at 40 hour weeks. Wait... that still isn't enough money to fall into the category of higher taxation that the democrats wanted with their Marxist attitude which was used all throughout the 50's, 60's, 70's, and tanked during the 80's. Kind of a similar trend between taxation and wage stagnation but those aren't related at all!

‘Majority’ is really the word you wanted to use? Less than 35%, and that’s with a possibly stolen election.
Many of those who didn't vote also learn the hard way.
Yep. A whole lot of people are just checked the fuck out and think "oh, that's politics", not realizing that politics will take an interest in them, whether they like it or not.
And then there are the sanctimonious jackasses that think they would "rise above it all" or whatever by throwing away their vote on a third party or that they'd stay home, all because they were too pure to vote for an imperfect candidate from the Democratic Party.
I'm sure all that purity will be some comfort...
Do you think the people who didn't vote are somehow doing better than the ones who did vote?
Unfortunately, yes.
And, as an American, we tend to forget everything after 1-3 years. So you have to teach us again. And again. And again. And-
You understand, I gather.
