Watch Americans do nothing, if y'all do nothing when Donald's nulifyed the election, nobody is going to respect what you say or do anymore, no matter what. You think euros are annoying now making fun of you, just wait until Donald trys nullifying states rights.
Most of us agree with you, We've had protests; we just haven't dialed it up to France.
outside of a general strike, nothing will change, no chance of that happening until he nulls the midterms, slim chance after that.
France is geographically smaller than the state of Texas.
yet it has twice as many people
Sure. I'm just trying to be a realistic reminder that the United States is massive compared to Europe. There are states larger than plenty of European countries, and as you say, with less population. Not sure how anyone expects anything to come together productively outside of exercising your right to vote. A general strike requires coordination that can be intercepted and manipulated at a national scale. People need to vote.
I don't have a lot of confidence that the vote will be counted and fair.
I also worry about his ominous project 2025 statement
We did noting when we found out he raped children. Complacency is support.
Yeah dude at least Europe finally cut down on buying arms from the US.
How is that important for this discussion? You’re just changing the subject
You have much to learn young padawan.
Well clearly not from you, you can’t even stick to the subject.
Euros should stfu and clean up their own house. The hypocrisy of telling us we don't do anything while they actively elect their own fascists is fucking astounding.
Same to you Canadians. You were two months away from electing a fascist moron until Trump started making threats but you act so smug about it now. Yeah turns out that when the fascism is aimed at you instead of Indian immigrants it isn't so great, is it?
More complaining and finger pointing. 🙄
