Texas isn’t the only state

They’ve been electing lunatics and not turning out for years. This is not due to prevention of voting or bad election practices. It’s because they, particularly the progressives, don’t turn out to vote.

I think Democratic turnout

Isn’t the expectation of getting what you want in a candidate and by extension what you ask for, the purpose of a primary? That’s without a presidential candidate like Trump, where the priority becomes keeping them away from the reins of power.

They get what they vote for, and their participation earns. Shit candidates, who aren’t working for them.

And, when you look at people…

That’s just another summary of selfishness for mine.

And they’re tired of yours

Yes, they don’t react to the mirror at all well. They look for excuses everywhere. Sounds like you are now as well.

At some point it your duty to deliver

Correct, and we see that in action with Mamdani in New York, who was put there by a decent turnout and being the right candidate. Proving both works if they do it.

Texas aside, it’s definitely a selfish lack of voting.

This has been repeated for years, with not only low turnouts overall but religious turnouts by Republicans across the country that prove voting works.

There’s no way in the world outcomes wouldn’t be different if at least 80% of them turned out to first primaries then the actual elections. It’s definitely a lack of voting issue at all levels.

Now, it’s a completely different story. We know the vote, if it happens, will either be tampered with or they’ll just send goons out to either stop the vote, force people to vote red or destroy or shut off polling booths. This time the excuses will be legit because they failed to do their national duty when they weren’t legit.

Now the rest of us around the world are copping this Seppo froth politics bullshit with bots everywhere on social networks paid for by American associated conservative interests and CPACs. None of which we asked for but are getting inundated with. All because they couldn’t turn up to vote when required. They even have honed excuses for that.

Sorry but I’m tired of their shit and I’m tired of seeing them gang up on people willing to call them on it.

Because they can’t accept responsibility for it, that’s why. Individuals run to claim they voted against it, it’s always a foreign controlled problem. It’s embarrassing for them too, because it’s all caused by a selfish lack of voting…something they blame media for, when their conservatives prove every election how effective it is.

They know it takes some hardship to fix now, they aren’t prepared to deal with that so they’re lashing out. Good on you for calling it. They’ll lash out at me as well probably but I couldn’t care less.

Nope, they won a game of sports ball

Not really, it’s just a summary of the necessity to put up with hardship, the easiest form of it, because they couldn’t take the easy path.

This opinion that we don’t understand because we’re outsiders is just another example of Americans expecting understanding they don’t offer others, over a problem that now threatens the entire world because they couldn’t vote.

Nice story, but it adds nothing. We know they’ll lose jobs and healthcare. It’d take two weeks for a shutdown in just the cities to get Congress acting, but don’t expect any sympathy from outsiders when we just keep getting more, longer excuses implying we don’t understand.

We understand all right; it’s a selfish population of individualists who only start caring when their own shit pile is harmed. Then they’ll probably try and run.

Yeah we are actually just expecting it to be done, as pointed out elsewhere.

This is after a trial run was given and it’s due to a lack of desire to vote. Selfishness.

Americans ask a shitload of undeserved understanding about this and expect a pass here they wouldn’t give others.

The national strike is the one. If it’s just the cities that’s more than enough to grind the wheels down. The sooner the better, the larger the more effective. I reckon two weeks to a month would see it out. Congress would move pretty quickly once everything is starved.

It’ll involve hardship and a willingness to do this without logistical coordination though.

No it’s not

Peaceful shutdown is the only answer. You have to grind the wheels to a halt and force those influential people who actually can act, act.

That’s the only way now.

Edit: no point running, we can’t stop it, and you brought this on yourselves. We had no say in this, why should we bail you out? Stay and help fix it please

A national shutdown.

Every direction now involves hardship, because there’s no more fair elections till this regime is removed. Peaceful shutdown is the easiest and least bloody.

They failed at the easy option, twice. Running won’t help either because we can’t stop it and it’s not our job to.

Yeah they’re turning their attention on the rest of us now the US has folded. Australia is under assault by Seppo froth politics, their fucking CPAC and their funding.

Fuck American voters and their selfishness. All because they can’t get off their arses and do their national duty.

In journalism, legalese is often necessary.

I’m sure you do for your own vote.

The struggle is the country taking responsibility for its collective selfishness, then expecting individual understanding from those outside which Americans don’t offer themselves.

Yeah, they do

They vote these lunatics in, repeatedly. This one is there because the people put him there

It is nuanced; the problem is a lack of responsibility and an unwillingness to take that responsibility on behalf of the US, not a lack of nuance from observers outside.

Take some fucking responsibility.

In a post developed world, you’ll be better positioned bringing horticulture to the table than software skills. Though you have those too if and when they’re needed.

Surprisingly how happy you can be broke, isn’t it? Not that I recommend it but yeah

They elected it and they were warned it would happen if they did, even by their own candidates.

It’s real. There’s only one way to stop it as well because they aren’t getting it voted out whether they hold an election or not.

The only benefit I understand they offer is making life somewhat easier for the vision impaired.

Then I use paracetamol and codeine, and stay off medicinal cannabis

Because you’re not allowed to feel good with any medical treatment.

No.

Changing the zoning of one or a couple of properties singularly I’m not sure is doable and I’m saying that as a surveying associate. I might be wrong; there were parts of cadastral law my junior degree didn’t cover.

But you’re spot on, that makes no difference really to the point you’re making. They’re businesses, not private dwellings any more and should be taxed appropriately.
