All the bureaucracy is suddenly smooth sailing when they want to bomb the fuck out of kids in the middle east, but all these weird rules and regulations are in the way of anything remotely challenging their interests.

Weird how democracy works that way. Almost like that's the point!

The bottom one is likely to destroy the child crushing machine by being inept. The top will keep it maintained for decades to come.

I see some libs are angry with this. Lmao (Republicans can also go fuck themselves)

After reading remarks from libs on Lemmy, I want to point out two things:

1. No significant number of leftists would vote for a real estate mogul turned fascist gameshow host. If you believe otherwise, it's likely because it makes thinking about the US political situation easier by giving you another illiberal fall guy.

2. Voting in the US is a pastiche of democratic participation, made to look like we've been handed all we need to make the democracy machine go brrr. We revere it so much because it's the best we've ever had, but other braver and more imaginative people have tried more direct, less capitalistic methods of democracy, usually before being crushed, libelled, bombed or couped by the US and its allies. If Americans ever find the backbone to collectively fight and make sacrifices for something better, future generations might have a chance of not growing up in the most grotesque, inhuman future imaginable. Libs can help with this, but you're the only ones who can decide whether you put your efforts toward capitalism or democracy. They're like oil and water.
