Oh fucking well. I don't mind, I'll even bring chocolate and marshmallows.
America needs to suffer for their repeated shit choices.
People wonder how Trump voters could vote for someone that's going to be so damaging to America, but ironically, you're just the flip side of a Trump voter and embody the answer to that question.
And I'm not hating on you, I'm just saying that if we could combine this dissatisfaction on both sides Voltron style, maybe we could get somewhere.
Don't try to lump me in with the Bernie or bust people. Just because I want to see Americans suffer for their actions, don't assume I would vote or not vote for someone because of some fanatical bullshit.
But honestly given how 15 million Democrats, progressives, and independents sat out and condoned racism, I might just not vote for candidates again and just watch this nation which really isn't better than this burn and enjoy the schadenfreude.
Hell maybe with enough suffering, America might actually try to not be a nation of racist disappointment.
Yeah, isn't it wonderfully ironic and hypocritical? Yeah, after almost thirty years of voting and coming to the conclusion that yes, this nation is a racist country that isn't better than this, yup kinda done helping to fix this nations problems. Y'all are on your own.
