A private military company (PMC) or private military and security company (PMSC) is a private company providing armed combat or security services for financial gain. PMCs refer to their personnel as "security contractors" or "private military contractors".

I think this article about PMCs is helpful because they don't often refer to themselves as mercenaries anymore.

A two-party system only favours the rich, who would only have to ~~back~~ buy 2 candidates instead of 4 or 5.

PR is even better for democracy! I'm with you guys!

We also need more regulations around campaign funding, but PR should be our priority right now.

The parties are not the same, but they're both brands owned by conservatives.

More men are arrested for crime than women, proving that cops are sexist.

So, they cut tons of services and research to give the money directly to DOGE and Elon. Cool.

All Murcan prisoners are legal slaves, not just the Salvadorans.

He better not turn out to be another sellout.

The problem with the two-party system is that both parties are conservative, so there's no one to vote for in the case of the 33% of Murcan voters. There's only someone to vote against.

I would say Republicans don't underestimate Murcan intelligence. They more accurately gauge just how gullible Murcans are when it comes to believing their lies about the economy, queerfolk, immigration, taxes, and services.

Economically, every single Republican POTUS has fucked the economy for the little guy, why would you believe this one would be different?

Queerfolk make up maybe 10% of the population, how are they possibly oppressing the other 90%?

Immigrants do all the jobs that most Murcans won't touch like agricultural and construction. How can it help average Murcans to have more expensive food and housing?

For taxes and cuts to services, it's long been proven that tax cuts for the wealthy do not create jobs or benefit society at large. The accompanying cuts to services do far more harm than good.

Republicans mislead the population in order to get you to vote with your emotions.

Democrats don't seem to think that this works and refuse to stoop to their level, when it is at exactly this level they need to fight if they want to have any hope of winning an election. Call them names, make up shit that doesn't exist, taunt them about how they're old and tired, and literally deep throat a microphone. Whatever the current reality teevee POTUS is doing.

You can't beat those fuckos with facts or reason.
