      No. People forget that the people and their government are totally separate.

      The US hasn’t bombed Iran. The government of the US has, despite the protest of its people.

        So many people missing the damn point. We elect representatives but WE THE PEOPLE are still in charge. The fact that our reps bombed Iran does NOT absolve us of responsibility!!!

        LOL…the people who voted Trump, or don’t vote at all.

        Not voting is supporting Fascism. Sorry, American people do not get a pass after electing Trump twice.

        Way to misinterpret me.

        We the people ARE the government. We only elect representatives. But all this (look around), it’s ours.

          You haven’t been involved with politics at a local level, have you? Just the bullshit going on with flock surveillance cameras being pushed through is a good microcosm of how politicians don’t face consequences for failing to follow their constituents will.

      not at that size, no. yes they all have addresses and put their pants on one leg at a time, but they are capitalists before anything else, including the people who voted for them.

      which means they are no longer human - they are pieces of shit.
