It is also how biased the US electoral system is to maintain the Status Quo.

Every time the Republicans get in, the cripple democracy a little bit at a time. When the Democrats get in, they don’t do anything to roll back the damage.

It has finally come to the Endgame for US Democracy.

All we can do is make sure that our elected officials are aware that it is not something that we want in Australia.

Have a friend who studied world history throughout uni. His statement about this is 'All empires must fall'. This is the fall.

USA has been going down the toilet for some time, and the turds getting bigger.

I'm gonna switch off the US crap and focus on our local (milder) shitshow.
