Being critical (full breadth of the word, it is not necessarily a negative thing) of your own country is a big part of what makes a patriot.
The right misunderstands this concept, and I believe it’s because their ideology largely consists of grievances they’ve been led to believe are due to the faults of everyone else, particularly those they deem lower on the ladder than themselves.
The left does not offer critique as a slight, to confuse others in an attempt to offend, and certainly does not place blame for the problems of everyone else on everyday people but instead on where it comes from, and that is those that hold the power. This is not smug, this is not evasion, this is not easy pickings. This is seeing the problem for what it is and understanding that it affects us all. This is knowing we can and absolutely need to do better, and knowing that the chance to do so is fading as we sit here numb, dumb, and blind to it.
Yes we know. Genocide was unavoidable and will still be unavoidable in 400 years from now. Americans can never be guilty of their crimes because they don’t have a choice but bombing people and electing pedophiles, since the two parties are led by jeffrey islanders anyway. Anybody that says otherwise is an idiot and a russian troll.
Like handcuffing somebody to a poll and beating them in the face and telling them they have no excuse for not defending themselves.
In 2000, we had a Meh democrat going against the guy that would start 2 middle eastern wars. We also had a 3rd party candidate that took 2.8 million votes away from the Meh democrat.
You must be thrilled that those 2.8 million heroes were willing to go against the 2 parties system. If it weren’t for them we wouldn’t have the Iraq war, Afghanistan war and all the other shit stirred up in the Middle East as a result.
I will fully admit we don’t live in a good country and many many Americans are complicit. But what you want is literally impossible, and blaming the people that are trapped within the system is ignorant bullshit.

We do not all share that value. And many of us do not want our government bombing anybody.
Then why do you keep voting for the same two parties?
We only have 2 options. Anybody that says otherwise doesn’t know how first past the post works.

Whine harder, idiot. The two parties system will prevail as long as you keep voting for the same two parties. It’s not rocket science
I’m not winning. I’m pointing out facts. Spend a couple minutes googling “first past the post” and you might learn something.
I know about your shitty election system, idiot.
