Look at the results: one of the lowest retirement ages is Europe, universal healthcare, very progressive tax system. Maybe if Americans disconnected Joe Manchin from the electrical grid and made Washington DC a no go zone once in a while they would actually get something done.
Voting for the lesser of two evils is still voting for evil.
Biden is creating lots of blue-collar jobs at the crocodile-tear factory.
I know there are a lot of upper-class Tories with a stick up their ars that voted Brexit, but if I think of a Brexit voter this is what I see.
I wouldn’t care if it looked like a giant cock and balls if I had a dedicated high-speed-rail station in my city. It also looks like it has serious capacity with three separate approaching rail corridors.

They might be extreme protesters, but the gist of the article still stands. I live in Berlin and visit the Netherlands often, the silence in Berlin on this issue (compared to the Netherlands) is honestly chilling.

This type of architecture is the literal definition of green washing. It’s just a concrete tower with incredibly difficult to maintain trees. (Probably next to a 6 lane arterial road.)
Just like a hammer, political protest is a tool. Using a hammer to smash a nail in a wall: good. Using a hammer to smash someones brain in: bad.
