Don't blame me, I voted for the other guy. (Politics General)

@Cyborg_pony  
The problem here is that Neutralgrey isn’t “hating on America”. He’s hating on the way it is being handled and led.  
It doesn’t disqualify him as, at least, a guy with pride in his country. I hate all the political scandals, corruption, and politically unsavvy citizens in my country, but i’m still proud of being a brazilian deep inside.

@Cyborg_pony  
You’ve either living in a cave or you’re a political hack. When Obama was president you had a lot of people from Red states making the claim that America is weak thanks to Obama and some even made the absurd claim that he crippled our army.
 
The truth is that whenever a Republican is sitting in the White House, Democrats accuse him of ruining the country. When a Democrat is sitting in the White House, Republicans accuse him of ruining the country. Heck, why else do you think Trump’s motto was “Make America Great Again”? Its because of what I just pointed out.
 
Many Americans are just partisan hacks, like you. You’re dripping with hatred for the left, you’re always trying to bait leftists into saying the right words so you can pounce on them. You’re always looking for a fight is what I’m saying.
 
@Dr. Eggman  
He always does that

@BadgingBadger  
I don’t hate America, I just have a low opinion of it. By no means do I think it’s paradise but at least it isn’t Tartarus, basically sums up what I think of my home.

@neutralgrey  
But you do believe it could have been managed better, do you?

@BadgingBadger  
I believe America can be managed better yes.

@neutralgrey  
This is what I think as well.

@neutralgrey  
I like America, but I dislike the people who run it.

@Cyborg_pony  
Look, I don’t like calling you a hack but you end up generalizing the left far too many times that it’s utterly ridiculous. Try to be better at it ok? I’m asking you to be perfect just better.

I was looking into Voter ID laws and was disturbed by what I found out.
 
Here is a video summarizing the findings that has some humour:  
Voting
 
“Too long, didn’t watch” version:  
–Voter ID laws had prevented voter impersonation, but not voter fraud.  
–Voter IDs are not received by everyone who is eligible due to the offices not being open for most of the time and the offices asking for unnecessary materials such as the death certificate of a husband.  
–Some of the lawmakers (e.g. Representative Debbie Riddle of Texas) who had proposed such bills had committed voter impersonation and fraud themselves by taking advantage of their position in which they had used other legislators’ voting boxes.

are you fucking kidding me….  
Academia is a fucking joke now. To think these supposed “adults” will be our future politicians! GodDAMMIT!

@Shirani  
The “education” system falls apart, still.

@Shirani  
Not like the politicians we have now are brainiacs, they’re all just whores anyway.

@Shirani  
I don’t see a problem with this., school is pretty stressful.

@Shirani  
That’s embarassing. Then again, the United States of America has civil forfeiture in which, as a police officer, you can take anyone’s belongings.
 
How does that work, you ask? The defendent is the belonging itself.

@Hypnosryan  
that better be sarcasm. School and College are institutions where you get ready for the real world. NOT FUCKING DAYCARE CENTERS! If you get to choose your grade whats the point in going? It becomes a worthless endeavor to get a degree if you are told you pass even though you are really not passing in actuality.

@Shirani  
Honestly, I think they should just can the grading system all together, I find it to be a load of bullshit.

@Hypnosryan  
you just want it canned because of feels…not because of evaluation of the persons talents.

@Hypnosryan  
And replace it with what?
 
It seems doing that would result in either a strict complete and failure.
 
No middle ground to know where one can improve.

@Fluttershy Studios  
Yeah, Civil Forfeiture is bullshit and that asshole Jeff Sessions just expanded it.
 
So much for small government.

@neutralgrey  
Gee, I guess he hasn’t heard about the police department that used the money taken for a margarita machine, or any other case in which the first thing an officer asks is, “Do you have any money?”

@Fluttershy Studios  
Yeah it’s bullshit, and I’m surprised no one has talked about it here.

@Hypnosryan  
What should be canned are standardized tests created by people who are not psychometricians, not the grading system. Psychologists should be making the tests, not people who write about a racing, talking pineapple.

@neutralgrey  
There is a lot of things in the USA most people don’t know about that would turn any foreigner away, ranging from civil forfeiture to multilevel marketing, a fancy name for a pyramid scheme, to special districts to Washington D.C. having no right to vote (Their slogan: Taxation without representation.).

@Shirani  
>one professor has a stress reduction course means the destruction of western civilization
 
Excuse me while I witness your precious skeptic community fight over the Holocaust

@Fluttershy Studios  
When a Briton knows more about the USA’s problems than Americans themselves, I am pretty sure that’s the sign of a LDC.
