But you cant compare the US and the EU. There is no "he", there is no president. No single person can run nor ruin it. It's simply not as fragile, but again, always let your voice be heard like you suggest. Just in case. permalink fedilink source parent [–] cabbage@piefed.social 14 points 1 year ago (1 child) Yeah.
