    “Yes, you did. He told you exactly what he was going to do, and you still voted for him.”

    Leopards, meet face…

    Among the political groupings I despise, it’s the single issue voters. They are finally experiencing the consequences of their actions just to get rid of immigrants and lgbt.

    Voting isn’t a Rorschach test like they seem to think it is. It’s giving a blank cheque to one guy so you better have some trust what’s he going to do with it.

    Ok, but most Americans didn’t vote for Trump tho. He’s not undefeatable. He’s just a con man.

          Honestly as an Australian its baffling to me that peoples “freedoms” take precedent over mandatory voting.

          Mandatory voting means one HOUR over three or four YEARS must be exhausted getting your ass to a polling booth and ticking a box. It’s not a big deal. The upsides so significantly outweigh the downsides.

            Idk how it is in australia but for me the fact that you have to REGISTER to vote is baffeling!

            The state knows where you live! It knows everything about you. Why does he not know if you are allowed to vote but that you can be drafted?!?

              Yeah that’s a really weird concept. In Serbia you just get mail some time before elections that tell you where to go to vote, and you either go there where they have your name already and you just show them your ID, or you don’t go and then you didn’t vote.

            Not if you’re a billionaire. Billionaires don’t want the people to choose what the government does
