  • The American system of government is the blame game. For example, few people seem to remember that during Obama’s 8 years in office he had the government for 10 months.

    During the 86 other months Republicans exploited that by simultaneously stonewalling everything while going to the media and questioning why the democrats aren’t doing more for the American people. It is a masterfully effective underhanded tactic.

    I also agree that everyone should vote. When more people vote, regardless of political affiliation, democrats win bigger. I don’t know why that is true, but it is. So yes, everyone vote!







  • Before reading, know that my response is mostly off-topic.

    As an American it always seemed strange to me the perception of someone as an outsider. I know other Americans do it too so it’s not like we are some special snowflake country, we have a lot of intolerance of course.

    But idk, to me Americans have all sorts of accents, indian/asian, hispanic, african, australian, whatever. I never considered that someone who sounds different wouldn’t be the same as every other American.

    Not sure if this train of thought is shared by other countries. I have heard that Japanese people will basically never consider anyone not native to Japan as anything other than foreign. That is a strange thought to me.

    I guess I’m bad at being bigoted.
