Leaders are partly at fault for the actions of their subordinates. That's sorta how leadership works.

Malcolm here just blocked me for the cardinal sin of not being American so I wouldn't bet on him or his followers being willing to see the forest through the trees.

Luckily, I live somewhere with a loosely functional democracy.

1. I can't vote in American elections.
2. It is no one's duty to vote for your preferred candidate. It is the job of the candidate to earn the confidence of the people. Did y'all learn nothing from the wins you just got? From Mamdani kicking the establishment dem Cuomo to the curb in brutal fashion?

Yes. And I also blamed Sinema. She did the thing, he failed as a leader by not mustering her to not do the thing. They both failed.

I don't like nations that slaughter and starve innocent people. Pretty basic human decency. Try it sometime instead of spending your life defending powerful monsters!

Schumer is their leader. If he were good at being their leader, they would not have voted the way they did. That is the purpose of a leader, to muster and organize.

I was wondering "how the hell would anyone defend Schumer at this point?" And being pro-genocide does explain it.

You can blame both the individual and their leader, as that's sorta the point of a leader, to lead, a thing Schumer has failed to do.

If you have no one to vote for, don't vote. A better message is sent by upping the opt out stat than by adding another increment to a party you don't actually believe in. Thanks to FPTP your vote doesn't matter more than as a statistic most places anyways.

Most Canadians will say the same thing, which is that we're just the states with healthcare.

My mom's a hoarder, my dad stims with "I need more money." And has over 1000 books in the house. They are both 72 and have done the "you can't have it cause I don't" thing to me.
