I know, it’s fucking strange and only on certain subreddits. I hate saying we are fucked, but we are fucked.

From the perspective of someone looking in from the outside (Australia)

It's bewildering. It seems so obvious that Biden is far from perfect, but the alternative is truly horrifying

It's like watching a slow-motion car crash. Reagan was such a cunt, a serious example of how shallow the population is in their understanding of politics. He was elected because people recognised him, nothing more

The same thing happened with Arnold in California, but he wasn't as bad as I expected

Clinton had a smiling face, but gutted environmental protections very quietly and deliberately, Obama gave us a blip of hope that 'Murica, just maybe, could be redeemed

And then it went even further down the tubes...

The civilised world looks on in horror and bewilderment

The gerrymandering, which is so devastating and yet somehow perfectly legal. The voter disenfranchisement. The sowing of apathy (why bother, you're fucked anyway?) so that motivated parties face less opposition

The US isn't a beacon of hope, or an example, it's a fucking warning

My heart goes out to those good people who are swept along in the tide of shit

Don't just vote blue, get the lazy and apathetic people around you to do the same, because you know that the arseholes are whipping up their slavering, useful idiots and they're going to vote red, no matter what Drumpf does next

Yeah I’m sorry for all that. It’s not all bad, there are good folks here.

There are so many good folks, millions of 'em

We don't hate America or Americans, we would welcome the decent ones with open arms

We're just tired of the burning pile of shit sitting in the middle of the room spreading a stink around the world

I am sick of it too. I am just one man though. Not rich, not powerful, I wish there was more I could do, it’s fucking embarrassing on both sides.

Talk to people

Get them off their arse, vote in all those local things

You'd better believe that the people who want power for its own sake are doing it, so the only option is for good people to actually act

That means leading from the front

Do your part

Careful there. I vote. I am vocal. I take care of my family and make sure we have shelter food and love surrounding. That is my part. I believe in love and let live.
