I’m not really happy with our democracy. It always feels like our say stops at the ballot box, we need more direct democracy.

In Germany we have two votes, one for a local representative and one for a party. In itself it’s a pretty decent system

Removed by mod

Still, those are probably not enough to invalidate my argument

Maybe we fight the next world war on American soil

Don’t you guys have mail voting?

Standard Til Schweiger slob

Just look at Russia

Since only somewhere around 65% of people voted and Trump got almost half the votes that means approximately 2/3rds of Americans are at least okay with having Trump as president and fascists in power.

I just keeping modding games I actually wanna play like Rimworld or CP2077 but there’s really a scene for everyone and everything.

Damn, that shit is even hotter

We achieved perpetuum mobile

Preach it louder, so those in the back can hear it too

I sometimes download Skyrim again, mod it for hours and as soon as I start a new game I realise I don’t even wanna play it.

For me it feels like the only thing your Dems have is that they’re not the others which is not enough

That does sound good

I can barely see him from over the pond but he seems somewhat decent

Obviously, if you wanted an educated population you wouldn’t put them in debt for the rest of their lifes for getting it.

Also, your education system seems often to be ruled by the most ignorant and hateful people they could find.

Uneducated people are easy to control and influence, as you can see and the same shit is happening here too, maybe not to that extent but still.

Yeah, I’m from Germany and it’s happening here too.

The established parties (mainly die Grünen SPD, CDU/CSU and FDP) have been unable for decades to solve problems like decaying infrastructures, pensions, bureaucracy and taxes. They’re so disconnected from reality that they probably don’t even know what the normal citizen bothers and then with the big immigration waves starting in 2015 and the complete and utter failure in handling it gave rise to parties, mainly the AfD, who promised solutions for everything.

Also, we can not forget the influence Russia and China have on our politics. They want nothing more than Western powers in disarray and it gets widely ignored or dismissed.
