    I don’t believe the US is a democracy and hasn’t been for a while now. I mean the popular vote isn’t even what wins the elections, that’s kind of the core concept of democracy, no?

    Anyways, so if the state was more democratic like the EU or countries with Parliaments you’d consider a planned economy?

      More acceptable, but still unacceptable. In the over 30 years of voting in this state, no one I voted for above mayor has made it into office. And many of the ones are seditious, grifting, fascist, enablers. That ladder lover Hawley, should be marched up an extremely tall ladder with a rope around his neck. The rope pulled taut and the ladder kicked out from under him as he’s effectively done to so many people.

      Not even most Californians would want a president or prime minister newsome

        No clue who Hawley is, don’t really care to know.

        It’s insane to me that if you’re from a certain area your vote is rendered useless. Really insane system the US has

          You may not know the name. But you know this.

          As well as this one. Where he ran for his life trying not to shit himself. And still got reelected.

              Hah, damn you’re lucky. And yes. Our national shame.

              Yep, him and that shit stain governor Parson sending vaccines for covid to un populated towns in the boot heel first. While first responders and service industry people in KC and STL fell. If I was a particularly religious person, I would pray for hell to exist and for them to all end up there being pumped full of Ebola daily and left untreated. Ebola or something worse perhaps.

                I don’t understand why you guys haven’t started shooting and revolting yet. Are you guys hoping that Trump and his like are just going to concede the next election loss?

                  The current waste of space in the govenor’s mansion is much more low key, Kehoe. And Hawley I think is looking to make his exit. Locally people are circling the wagons against national republicans and their gestapo. Only time will tell.
