I‘m afraid this kind of far-left histrionics was rejected at the ballot box.





Let’s reject these comments here too.

Technically, the majority of Americans voted for something other than what we got.

This is incorrect. The vote was 49.8% for Trump vs 48.3% for Kamala.

0.56% voted for Stein, 0.49% for RFK, 0.42% for Oliver, and 0.42% for other third party candidates, meaning 50.21% voted for not-Trump.

RFK is supposed to be in Trump's government, so...

It's shockingly common to have to explain to Americans like yourself, that a democratic world exists beyond your borders. We even have different democracies electing different leaders.

Crazy isn't it.


By a much smaller margin than Election Day conveyed. But the original comment didn’t relate to an election result. Why did you bring that up?

As long as they don't offer global service, fine. You voted for it.

Tech should be void of politics. Thats the real issue here.

"Tech" doesn't exist in a void - "tech" exists because politics allow it.
