American Political System Is Pretty Weird
The American pollical system is pretty weird. For instance, where is their Leader of the Opposition? They have 2 major political parties opposing each other at elections, but when one party is in office the other is nowhere to be seen. Right now, President Trump is doing his grandiose thing, but the recently defeated Kamala Harris is a big fat zero on the scene. How can the party not in power be the alternative government in waiting without a leader to rally around? Congress is a massive failure and has been for many years, as many of them don’t represent the people they are supposed to because they have been bought by AIPAC or some other super pac. Republican congress men and women are so much in thrall to President Trump that they have collectively lost their voice.
Strange Anomalies Within America’s Political Set Up
The other weird thing is that someone like President Trump has never served as an elected member of the house of representatives or the senate. Trump has never served the people in any of these capacities but their system allows him to stand for President. The essence of politics is supposed to be about service, but I don’t think Americans really understood that part of it. They are so enamoured of the individual that they think governing is all about the President. Politicians are, in essence, elected civil servants, there to serve the American people. I don’t think that anyone mentioned this to Donald Trump. The American political system is pretty weird.
Hey GOP, What About State’s Rights?
The GOP are famous for carping on about state’s rights. Right now, I don’t see anyone from that side talking about state rights when it comes to ICE being sent in large numbers to cities like Minneapolis, Chicago, New York, Washington DC and Los Angeles. All of these cities and states are Democrat controlled places, funny that. I don’t think ICE has done its paramilitary invasion thing in any red states, funny that isn’t it? ICE agents have murdered 2 American citizens in Minneapolis, so far. Minneapolis is 300 miles away from any US border, funny that these border agents are there enmasse in their thousands. Could it be really about something else other than border security? Renee Good was a mother of 3 shot in the face at point blank range by an ICE agent. Alex Pretti was a nurse in a vet’s hospital, going to the aid of a woman pushed violently to the ground by ICE. He was shot whilst prostrate on the ground. These are nasty and cowardly killings by armed paramilitaries.
“Multiple bystander videos have come to light showing the lead-up to the fatal shooting of nurse Alex Pretti by a Border Patrol agent in Minneapolis.
The Trump administration says it was a case of an armed man provoking violence.
In the videos, Mr Pretti is seen with only a phone in his hand, before US federal agents use pepper spray and wrestle him to the ground before he is shot.”
Why Right Wing Voters Tend To Be More Stupid?
“I could have also used the terms selfish, greedy, disinterested and trapped in the past. Look around you at the current crop of right wing governments in the United States and Israel as illustrations of this. The MAGA supporters are, on the whole, focused on what they can get from a Trump administration and turning the clock back to a less integrated multiracial America. You do not get the sense that these folk are interested in what is good for all Americans, no matter their skin colour, gender or sexual preference. This is why right wing voters tend to be more stupid.”
