    Well if your dogshit country actually had a spine and three braincells to knock together, maybe. Ya’ll literally couldn’t even keep the most obvious fascist of all time out of office after he failed so bad the first time. As a country you deserve this and to the people who still did their best I’m sorry they have to deal with this.

    Look Canada isn’t much better, we vote for garbage(or don’t show up to vote for better) and we get garbage. These people don’t hide who they are, they absolutely represent the population both directly and indirectly.

      Trust me I’m well aware of the failings of my country. That doesn’t mean I can’t recognize one of them or that you have to remind me of their existence when I do.

      In other words, I get it but you’re not helping.

        You said that they don’t represent the people, I was correcting you. Neither of us enjoy the fact that they represent an unfortunate number of people, but they do.

        What this also means is that they can be removed if enough people stop fucking voting for them. They are not kings, not yet anyway.

          I never said they didn’t? But I get how you got there.

          Agreed, we need to pick our representatives better :(

            I’ll take that.

            I just hope we figure out how to not suck before picking our representatives becomes…more difficult.
