Democracy, a messy, inefficient way to govern which has been more successful than any other way. Warren Buffet has been an intelligent observer of our system for over 90 years, and he has this to say about current politics;

Of course Democracy is successful. The majority of Americans voted for Donald Trump in 2024, and he's doing exactly what we Americans voted for.

Why do you hate Democracy?
 
American politics has always been messy. If you look at the history of the U.S. Congress, there are incidents of slug-outs and even brandishing firearms. The amazing thing is, we are still here and pretty vibrant.

If Socialists ruled, we'd have already gone through several civil wars, not just one. Short of outright murder, we are allowed to vehemently disagree.

Dumb ****, the majority of American voters did not vote for Trump in 2024. He received just under 50% of the popular vote.

And I vehemently disagree. Most of the EU nations are ran by Democratic Socialists, and they are not going through violent civil wars.
 
Was he wise for never 'paying his fair share'? I thought liberals were big on that. Oh right, attention span of gnats...
Another dumb **** that does not know what he is talking about. Both Buffet and Gates have stated that the wealthy should pay more taxes. And both have given huge amounts of their wealth for good causes. But I guess expecting a MAGA critter to know anything more than the lies that Trump spews is expecting too much.

Neither is the U.S. today. Too bad for Europeans though:

"Two months ago, the English podcast host Louise Perry hosted David Betz, a professor at King’s College, London, and an expert in civil wars. The topic? “The Coming British Civil War.” Betz argues that the United Kingdom now has all the traditional hallmarks of a society on the verge of violent civil conflict. He mentions the collapse of faith in British institutions, the two-tier justice system, Islamic radicalization, and the polarization wrought by official multiculturalism, among other factors."

Democratic Socialists 'ran' Europe into the ground. They are trying to do that in the U.S. but We The People voted for our independence from bureaucratic socialist government. Of course the recalcitrant bureaucrat fossils still believe that socialism can work. Never has and never will.

The Progressive controlled media than should tell us all the resources the super-rich are giving away. I know you guys are liars on taxing the rich because you do not do it when empowered. Raise the taxes to 90% on people and private corporations and businesses. You are all talk.
