We're doing a "don't elect a multiple felon rapist pedophile" for president.
Also, not giving any single person the power of a king.
If the USA had the right checks and balances, like most EU countries, the POTUS would not have been able to pardon his fellow criminals, would not have been able to delay Epstein files, and would not have been able to invade other countries.
If you think the US is just some anomaly and not the canary in the coalmine of a global rise of fascism, you're in for a rude awakening. The US absolutely fucked it up, no question about it, and it's up to Americans to fix that mess, but pretending it's somehow contained and isolated is very shortsighted. "Fuck you, I got mine" is the exact type of attitude that leads to fascism. Nationalism is a problem even when your country isn't objectively fucked up.
