Gay person exists: “Now that’s a problem, I can always tell.”

A trade surplus? Would that not mean that Brazil has a trade deficit with the USA? Sounds like Brazil should follow the same advice and put tariffs on them.

I know a lot of stupid people who choose to be good as well. Stupid people who know to trust scientists and who want to share and all that good stuff. Then there are the violent, monkey-brained goons whose only method of communicating is unfiltered violence. The latter are pathetic in all senses and no amount of being stupid will be an adequate enough excuse for their actions.

He literally followed it up with what was essentially “ok fine, but do something”. You’re so hooked onto this sugar thing and have completely missed the entire point.

Brother, you’re dumb as a doornail.

You asked, buddy, and I’m sorry your gotcha fell on its stupid face, I guess?

The USA was fucking crawling forward and it was complaining the entire time. It is a country constantly falling behind in so many quality of life metrics, and in a constant state of barely hanging onto what few rights people had to earn with their lives. I need you to understand that the pace at which it moves is unacceptable and to be even remotely proud of it just shows your ignorance.

The Democrats are probably going to try to run Gavin fucking Newsom instead of AOC because they don’t seem to even want to win and because they don’t want to have someone in power who will push so hard for doing the right thing. Who knows, maybe you idiots will actually rally behind her during the primary, if you even get one of those, and the country can finally start its slow game of catch-up with the rest of the developed world, but I’m not holding my breath.

Good luck.

I’m from Canada, we were one of the first to legalize it, if I recall correctly.

I need you to understand that this pathetic deflection tactic does not fool any but the most profoundly stupid. The US has an insane amount of resources to do so much good for its people and spends way too much of said resources attacking other countries and beating down its minorities and poor people. You’re failing an open book test where the professor is begging you pick the right answer and you’re still dragging your heels and screaming the whole time.

The US is a terrible place, not only for how bad it is but, for me especially, for how it could be so wonderful and actively chooses to be terrible. And then it goes around exporting that bullshit while acting like they had nothing to do with it to really round it all out. Many places are bad but the US takes it to a whole new, greasy place.

Damn, the bar really is on the floor, huh? Ya’ll’re gunna have to do a lot better than “gay people are barely allowed to marry in places where they have less of s chance of being beaten or killed for being out” and “we had abortion rights once but those were blown away and now the current admin that’s only just getting started is making sure things only get worse”.

I know them there readin’ skills ain’t top-notch in ‘Merica but maybe you would all benefit from looking to the rest of the world and understanding that the USA is pretty fucking dogshit in comparison to not only a long list of betters but even compared to a few of the countries that it considers to be backwater.

The USA sucks, big time. Horrid place full of horrid people doing horrid things under a horrid system they keep desperately trying to pretend is the only option despite all the evidence even from within their own recent past. Do better.

Bro you’re really not getting it. Hell, they agreed with you and now you’re just kinda going off on their literacy while proving that your comprehension needs work. The fuck do you want from them?

You’re weird for this; chill out.

So, uh, here’s the thing…

They have real strong “the goverment should do something about that” energy while being the government.

What a goon.

And yet, if Trump replaces the chair with a yes-man and no one stops him then he does control the fed and therefore the money. And it doesn’t look like anyone is stopping him from doing this kind of shit any time soon.

Fucking hell, it isn’t that complicated.

You don’t need to live the US to know about it, and actually it makes it a lot easier because you aren’t dealing with their shitty education system or the propaganda. Besides, I’m Canadian, and have to deal with that pile of garbage all the damn time.

Get outta here acting like I can’t judge the US because I’m not in it. Get right outta here.

Literally these things have already been done with success. Your ignorance is not the definition of reality.

We know for a fact that housing people, keeping rent under control, and even offering free public transport all lead to a stronger economy and far better financial security for the 99%(which is even good for the 1% because it means people can actually buy their shit). This isn’t wishful thinking, it’s been tried in better places and the US is a perfect case study on why the centrist and right-wing ideas don’t work and have never worked.

You’re not a cynic, you’re poorly informed about the subject.

Yea, their really shitty or barely mediocre mayors? This is very different from times before and I think it’s ok to be excited. If it does end up going wrong you need to know that being a massive pessimist just for the sake of the world’s most depressing “win” is not a healthy way to live. Plus, nothing is really pointing to this being a bad thing except your own evident misunderstanding of the situation.

I wish him all the best, and more than anything I hope that the federal government doesn’t sabotage him and I hope that even if they do people will be able to understand that instead of going “wow he failed! No I’m not going to think about it harder than that.”

Cities are often where these things start. To underestimate a mayor’s impact, especially in a city like New York, is not the play. It also sounds like you aren’t even that familiar with his platform since it took me only one simple google to find a couple examples of a costed plan.

The US is plenty happy electing people with zero plan whatsoever, and what they do have is easily disproven nonsense that has never, ever worked. Major cities and economies in the world have done, with success, what Mamdani is proposing.

For the love of god, just be happy that the United Shithole of America is finally taking a step in the right direction. It’s going to be ok, and it pretty much can’t be worse since even trying and failing would be better than purposefully destroying everything for a quick buck.

You can just skip the “but”. Other policy makers either horribly fail with their much shittier policies all the time and when they do succeed that’s still a problem because those are bad policies.

And don’t worry, a lot of that stuff has already been successful in better places so it shoukd go fine.

“So many democrat presidents have acted in the same way”

One, doubt. Two, you take that entire excuse and shove it waaaay up your ass.

Looks like there are 212 Democrat reps in the house, which puts it at a large majority which would rather “not cause a fuss” or whatever the fuck excuse they’re trying to bullshit this time.

Useless people. Worthless people.
