    It is good news in the sense that someone is in trouble and they are helping him when they didn't have to.

    The circumstances of how he is in trouble are a separate issue and one that I find so strange for a supposedly civilised nation to have.

    But you guys keep voting for republicans and choosing undemocratic corporate rule over elected government rule.

    Why is it seen as preferable to allow a greedy corporation you can't get rid of to have more power over you than the government you can (supposedly) vote out?

    No no no, don't pin this on us. We didn't choose this bullshit. I can about guarantee you no American on Lemmy voted red. We're victims in this just as much as anyone else is. It's exhausting seeing people blame all Americans for the actions of idiotic red voters. Half this country is on your side. Blaming us only further alienates us and sows division. So don't "you guys" us. Allow me to reiterate: we didn't want this.

    I'm sorry to inform you, but that's not how democracy works. You, the collective you, voted for Trump. I'm sorry that you didn't want this and I don't want to blame you personally, but you are not apart from this.
