Literally everything.

Maybe I’m just used to my comfortable parliamentary democracy.

You vote for your representative. Whichever party gets the most representatives gets power. It’s either a majority (meaning that they can do whatever they want because they got more representatives than all the other parties combined) or it’s a minority (meaning that to pursue their agenda they’ll need to cooperate and negotiate with the other parties because they don’t have enough representatives to do it themselves)

The leader of that ruling party becomes Prime Minister. He holds less power than a president because in reality he’s just the Prime Minister (First Minister among many) but he has more authority than the leaders of the other parties who didn’t win.

It just seems so simple compared to the lunacy to my south.

Exactly. There’s a very clear correlation between when Trump’s support started to fade and when Harris metaphorically pants him at the debate by daring to laugh at him when he talked about Haitians and made him look like an utter jackass.

Trumps followers are bullies, and they follow a lead bully. When that lead bully gets a taste of his own medicine, their supporters grow unsure of their allegiance.

It’s all highschool bullshit with Trump and MAGA.

It’s some crazy third-world-country shit that in the United States of America, you’ve almost reached the point of needing to declare martial law during an election period in order to ensure no one gets hurt.

Want has nothing to do with it. He doesn’t care. Winning the vote is, and always has been, his plan B. Plan A, as far as he’s concerned, is still chugging along without a hitch. Speaker of the House refuses to certify the count, goes all the way up to the supreme court, Supreme Court installs him.

He has literally no other plan than that.

It’s utterly repulsive to me that, regardless of the elections outcome, this walking shit stain is getting Secret Service protection paid for by the tax payers.

I’m not American, but I feel for you all. As far as I’m concerned, it should be like Witness Protection; if you commit a crime (or are in others ways a total piece of shit) while protected, that protection can and will be removed like they did with Henry Hill when he kept committing crimes.

I was going to confirm that yes, 5’1" is a typical shortbox. But I first have to say wow…I haven’t heard that word in a very long time. I love it.

So what you’re saying is that scientist’s laziness on the development of flying cars is what is going to lead to the downfall of man.

I always knew it…

I can imagine it must be incredibly annoying for Boris to be automatically fact-checked every time they say something stupid.

I would absolutely argue (and that’s kind of my point) that the Cybertruck…and ESPECIALLY the Santa Cruz is closer to a coupe utility vehicle rather than a truck.
