What always amazes me is how much this is tolerated in the “Land of the free”. At what point do Americans stand up for democratic principles?
This pathetic “we can’t do anything” attitude will be how democracy dies.
If my electoral district was gerrymandered or corporate donations through PACs we’re allowed in Canada I would be planning protests instead of typing this. Our system is far from perfect, but I have a hard time imagining a scenario in which the public here would passively accept many of the things we can see to the South.
Why is there so much apathy towards these issues?
Shouldn’t the fairness of the democratic system in the US be the #1 issue for both Democrats and Republicans?
When you're told you're number one your whole life, you don't go anywhere else, and your religion and patriotism are joined at the hip, why, there's no reason to change anything.
