MODERATORS
 

Texas Republicans have voted to track down and arrest dozens of Democratic legislators who have fled the state to block passage of a partisan redistricting plan.

The vote passed by 85 to 6, following Republican Governor Greg Abbott's threat of bribery charges against the absent Democrats.

After the vote, the governor ordered state troopers "to locate, arrest, and return to the House chamber any member who has abandoned their duty to Texans".

You’re a foreigner trying to tell Americans to not participate in their two party system...

Never said that, I am saying your nation is past the point of the dems saving you.

Our federal democracy is in jeopardy but you’re dramatizing the situation by saying American democracy is dead.

You have brownshirts kidnapping people in the streets, political based imprisonments, actual camps, tariffs on every other nation, and threats about annexing my nation and others like Greenland. You had a very limited democracy with a two party system (its not a real choice, if its evil vs the status quo) before, now? Come on, the us is now a global pariah state.

Are you asking for a violent revolution? If so, get your ass up and get over here and put your life on the line. It’s real easy asking others to risk their lives while you sit on your fat ass.

Sorry fix your shit, I will be up here preparing to fight the meal team 6s and gravy seals that are talking about invading my nation. Your great leader will likely try to make war at some point in the next few years and all we can hope is for the us armed forces to once again fail at occupation.

Part of the problem is fools like you going online and shitting all over BOTH parties...

Fuck your parties, fuck your failed state and expectation that the rest of the world will play along with it. Fuck your idea that anyone that does not sign up with your team is some basement dwelling troll. I never said anything about not engaging, nothing about things being hopeless, just that the two party system is over and the world hopes you can get your shit together.

So what's your REALISTIC suggestion? Lots of crying from you, not a lot of suggestions.

Come on, the us is now a global pariah state.

Hey bud, WHAT'S YOUR SUGGESTION?

Sorry fix your shit

SUGGESTION?

Fuck your parties

SUGGESTIONS PLEASE!!!!

I nailed you in your first comment. You are a whiny. little. bitch.

I provided a realistic suggestion for how to fix this mess without violent revolution, because that is the absolute last resort (and it isn't going to happen). And all you've managed to do in response is whine like a little bitch.

You are not productive. You are not helpful. You have NO solutions. You are a waste of time and effort and only serve to add to the chaos.
