I get what you're saying, but this is the United States. We've been voting for genocide supporters for like our entire history...

That doesn't make it right, but it's not new by any means. The entire world deserves better than what we put forward time and time again :(

You're absolutely right, but better late than never for people to finally start realizing it. This isn't the time to be saying "It's nothing new, move on," it's the time to be saying "It's not even new! Get mad! Fight back!"

No, not better late than never. This is giving up. You're talking better "too late" then "it doesn't fucking matter any more." Because we already fucking lost.

I agree that we lost through conventional voting means, but our country was born from people forced to fight to achieve the government they wanted, and we're fully capable of doing it again. We're haven't been pushed into enough of a corner yet as a country for most people to get on board, but we're getting there.
