That’s not even an opinion anymore, it’s just an accurate description of events in the country
I am surrounded by engineers and scientists… more than half of them dont vote beacause " this does not affect me". Frustrates me so much. This are educated people, relatively speaking. Maybe because they are still well-off economically? I don’t know. I don’t understand how they are so uninterested.
Show them this video: https://youtu.be/Ame0j8jbMY4
Then tell them voting is exactly the same as discussing politics.
They’ll just show you this https://youtu.be/aPW8AaOuvDs
I’m not saying this is always the case, but if a coworker or someone i know in a professional context asks me a political question I will say I have no strong opinions despite the opposite being very very true. Others may say this to strangers or to people who aren’t their close personal friends.
An entirely self created one
The beloved Patriot Act 20 years later.
Göring: Oh, that is all well and good, but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.
Yet 50% of the 80% won’t actually vote.
It’s 80% of voters so they already took 1/3 of the country out.
Political Crisis created by billionaires.
By billionaires, by trump, by right wing extremists, by religious idiots, by general idiots, by…
By fascists. Don’t forget them they are the same people you are talking about.
For sure
For reference, only 84% of Americans believe the Earth is round. . That this statement has about as much agreement is not surprising, but it’s worth keeping in mind that 15%-20% of people are going to disagree with literally any statement you poll them on, even basic facts.
Clears that up.
It’s definitely frightening how one “influencer” being killed seems to have made things worse. They not only didn’t learn from the consequences of stoking the flames of divisiveness, but keep piling on the fuel. How does it not hit them that their own actions are what is causing this crisis, and how do they not think it might have gone too far? How are they so cynically exploiting the situation without the slightest hint of awareness that “this could be me next”?
Kirk was the excuse they pounced on - the escalation was coming regardless.
“People in a burning house believe there might be a fire inside their house”
As designed by the GOP, for the GOP. They are the terrorist organization Donald trump is so worried about, but he keeps mixing it up and calling them “the radical left.”
The dementia is spreading across the entire GOP base. They all forgot what being a conservative was.
The voters created this mess. The real argument should be for education.
Critical thinking skills and being able to form your own opinion and back it up with evidence should be taught in grade school. Most people don’t get an introduction to this until college.
Mass manipulation by social media is why we are where we are. Stupid voters have been around for all of democracy.
The voters did what they were supposed to do: vote.
The fact that the system of democracy has been slowly eroded over time and never updated with new knowledge is the failing of Congress.
Cooked, deepfried.
On July 4, 2026, the
US Army[REDACTED]On July 4, 2026, nothing happened in Lafayette Square, Washington D.C. Absolutely zero university students died. Its was just a routine military parade with tanks. Anyone spreading false rumors is a foreign agent ANTIFA attempting to destablize our big beautiful democracy, and will therefore be charged with “Subversion of State Power”. GOD BLESS 'MURICA 👊🇺🇸🔥
Political crisis?!? They just transitioned from a democracy to a monarchist authoritarian regime.
Of voters. If that’s the only group that gives a shit we’re doomed.
People vs politicians. The people need to clean house.
What should we try doing differently?
Ranked. Fucking. Choice. Voting.
The states should work together to run special elections to replace everyone in house, senate, courts and then president. Any president level decisions shall be approved by the states of the people till someone is elected…… in a very broad explanation.
What the heck do the other 20% think? All is fine? Or are they just off-grid for months?
TIL 20% of Americans live in a persistent vegetative state.
