Serious question - why "fuck Clinton"? Do you believe the propoganda around her that she's a criminal? She wasn't perfect, but would 1/2..

Fuck this is it. Americans refuse to take responsibillity for their own country's situation. It's always someone else's fault.

As a voting citizen, I do place blame on the 100 fucking million people that didn't vote in the last presidential election and still won't.

I would never condemn anyone for refusing to support Clinton, Trump or Biden.

There's third parties. I know I know that's a wasted vote, right? No. When the over 100 million people don't vote, that's wasted votes.

Yes but why haven't you mobilised mass petitions, calls for referendums, etc? Voting is bread and butter that even the laziest citizen 1/
