Don’t you think it’s quite ironic that the subject I’m trying to avoid is being discussed in this post?

    Can’t remember the last time Germanys, Netherlands, Polands or any other election was this much or long in the news.
    Not to mention Asian (excluding middle east because they are news non-stop) or African (not affiliated with middle eastern conflicts).

    Hell even Canads or Mexicos is much of any debate…

      God please let us put a fucking leash on these assholes dominating our time. I don’t want to be convinced non-stop that you’re voting in my best interest, I want to see my best interests enacted. I want a representative democracy that allows me to trust that my representatives are going to represent my community as a whole, not some twisting tendril of black or white districts intended to game the system. And it’s so fucking absurd that we have somehow convinced ourselves that our Constitution intended for corporations to be treated as people or for money to be treated as free speech. Millions and billions spent convincing us that millions and billions need to be spent. It’s complete lunacy and we’re all cool with it?
