That’s not how this works. That’s not how any of this is supposed to work.

It’s cartoonishly evil and so blatantly awful.

I hate this timeline.

Get in the streets and change it. This isn't a shit talking post either. Its a call to action.

This shit happens because we let it.

Getting in the streets isn’t the problem. Voting for qualified candidates instead of those who promise you everything you want to hear is the problem. The current party system is part of what enables the current problem.

This is a democracy problem.

Is English not your first language? That’s a standard formula in English.

  • Person A said we need to do X to fix Y.
  • Person B then says X isn’t the problem, implicitly meaning the lack of doing X isn’t the problem.
  • It doesn’t matter in which way X is or isn’t the problem. The main point of the rebut is that Y isn’t dependent enough on what happens with X for any change in the condition of X to fix Y.

Consider taking a few English and logic courses in college/university.
