Because that’s exactly what it is. It’s a way for the rich to force the policies they want while quelching any policies they don’t.

I’ll never understand how lobbying became a thing. It should have been shut down as anti democracy the second it was proposed

So you’re butthurt that people tried to make it a legitimate conversation?

Jesus Christ lemmy has some fuckin morons

Because my roommates dumbass mother keeps waking me up after 5 hours of sleep and I’m too livid to fall back asleep

What fucking comparison are you looking for?

The rest of the public has been manipulated by oil barons who constantly push these fear mongering talking points.

It is safer in every way.

You act like Homer Simpson is real and that’s how nuclear power plants operate. In the modern age unless it’s just gross incompetence it’s been safer for decades.

Oh and if you want those safety regulations to ever get better you have to keep putting money into them. You’re not gonna get progress by ignoring them.

In fact that’s the only reason nuclear power isn’t more prevalent because the average citizen is so blinded by oil propaganda they refuse anything to do with it.

Because the environmental damage caused by the largest nuclear disasters in history is still nothing like the damage from fossil fuels.

Not just that but the fossil fuel industry’s history is full of much worse disasters than any nuclear plant.

If you were to truly compare them based just off safety it’s no contest. Nuclear power is cleaner and safer

Because it’s a special type of cognitive dissonance to be a POC and run for the side of racism.

Just like Republicans gays who act shocked that the party of homophobia is homophobic. It’s relevant because it just shows how full of shit he is

Looking at this image while scrolling past it almost looked like a chewed up Pepsi can lmao

I love when people try to pull the empathy card.

There are people on this planet who do not deserve empathy nor the benefit of the doubt. Corrupt politicians are some of those people.

They should focus on leaving the country

That’s literally all you said…

Ah yes it’s making Russia so much money which is why their economy is in perfect condition and the ruble is worth more than ever!

Yes because that’s the easiest solution for people enduring violent oppression.

“jUsT lEaVe!!11!”

Yep it’s that simple. Forget your lives forget your families forget making where you live a better place JUST LEAVE! 🤓

Ah yes protests against the rich have never been useful before

It’s the one part of Idiocracy we’re actually performing.

Elections are no longer about who’s the best for the job. It’s now a popularity contest. Intelligence and capability mean nothing anymore.

And honestly I partially blame Obama for being to relaxed with the memes. Yeah it was funny af but it opened the gates to what we have now.

It’s like how satire can quickly become real. So… Thanks Obama…

How does more people feeling left behind lead to conservatism though? This is a genuine question.

See this is my biggest gripe on people complaining about Trump.

During brexit my feed was full of Boris memes and news. It was really fucking weird watching two different countries get fucked by a fat old man with fake blonde hair

Extreme incompetence is news worthy.

On a funny note I’d make all fast food react like Chipotle.

On a serious note it would be the chipotle from South Park where you’d be shitting blood.

ITT Europeans once again acting like American politics don’t affect them in any way.

Anyone else think it’s funny that Britain got Boris around the same time America got trump?

Not like it’ll do them any good. In fact it might make more people defect after seeing they were lied to about the rest of the world.
