+5 Yes, Puerto Rico is widely considered a colony—or often described as the world's oldest colony—due to its status as an unincorporated U.S. territory. While residents are U.S. citizens, they lack voting representation in Congress, cannot vote for president,
the orange pedo clearly did not know Puerto Rico was a US territory during his first term… he also did not know it was an island
and this level of brilliance was rewarded with a second term by muricans… so yes, I tend to believe every stat that claims they are mostly ignorants
American here, if I could read I would be SO mad about what you wrote
thank you for your good humour.. I know I am generalizing which is usually not a good thing, but the frustration mounting over the last few years is really getting me now
~30% of voters will vote (R) regardless of who. A smaller share will vote (D) regardless of who. The rest have to be convinced to vote for you instead of the other guy, and the largest group by far have to be convinced to get off their asses and vote at all.
Trump won a second term not because he had a massive upswing in popularity, but because Harris did the opposite of convincing people to actually vote and to do so for her. Apathy favors GOP, high turnout favors Dems.
Agreeing with your more detail breakdown, I cannot see how it contradicts what I posted before (which I think it's your intention here).
At the end of the day, the USA thought it best to eat battery acid (trump) or starve to death (not vote) rather than eating the cold hamburger that was available (Harris)
We can argue a lot about the flaws of a 2 party system and, most importantly IMO, how deeply corrupt the USA's version of "deMoCRacY" is... but at the end of the day, Americans decided to figuratively kill themselves and bring down the world with them, mostly out of fucking ignorance
Definitely agree with this, and also consider those who are unable to vote. By this i mean those who arent registered for whatever reason, or cant get to a poll. I encourage everyone to help with getting people to the polls this midterm: volunteer to drive people And share how on social media
