    That’s the thing, when most of society laughs at that, the chances of having any sort of democratic process work drop to nothing.

      Americans have the most individualist “fuck you I got mine” ladder-pulling-upist culture in the entire world. Maybe someday we’ll have a cultural revolution and come out the other side less anti-social, but in the meantime if you want anything done in this country you’ve got to convince people that there’s something in it for them.

      its as simple as this, if you don’t respect democracy, you don’t deserve democracy.

      Go vote, or shut the fuck up and accept your fate, those are your two options. Don’t come crying to me when you realized you voted for a fucking loser. Make a better choice next time.
