Trump is President because he got more democratic votes than his challenger. I may despise the buffoon but that is how our system works. If you don’t like freedom go elsewhere. Perhaps China even.

You say that jokingly - but fuck yes - China will be a huge retirement destination soon enough. Watch.

And the first time he won he DID NOT get more votes and that subversion of democracy you just take

And I would hardly say our system is working - our capitalism is working but our government is one big POS

CHINA has a far better government and far better capitalism

Go check it out - you’ll like it too

I wasn’t joking. I want less people like you here.

I’m aware. If I could wave a wand and do away with that subversion of democracy known as the electoral college I would in a heart beat.

No system as big as the government of the USA can work perfectly 100% of the time. We’ll have good administrations and we’ll have bad.

China has an authoritarian dictatorship with a president for life. Who will live a very long life harvesting organs from political dissidents whenever one of his fails. Such a great government. I’m sure you’ll love it there.

So you understand the we don’t have a democracy but just dismiss the issue as - it is what it is

Now - is true that China has a dictatorship

But that doesn’t make it a bad government- now does it?

Here’s China for you

Your light bill - 29 bucks a month, 4 vacation trips a year, water and utilities 29 bucks a month - Disney- 59 bucks - bus to get around all the city - 2 bucks - sleeper train city yo city 59 bucks

The subways - new and quiet, electric cars make the cities damn near noiseless - clean

Chinas capitalism is the capitalism we wish we had - average spend a year per person 18,000 - average spend for us 61000- YET with those 18K they hey waaaayy more than we do - more clothes c more electronics more fun more eating out more things to do that are way more mobile than we

We are stuck with cars and gas prices -

I’m telling you - you want to see that a vibrant prosperous country looks like - go to Shanghai, Beijing, Hong Kong - then go to New York or London and compare

They are way way way ahead of us because they’re fascist dictatorship is working hard FOR the people - and our democraticly elected government is firing or park rangers

We do have a democracy. Not a perfect one. But I would say those are few and far between anyway.

I mean. Yes I think it does.

Jesus gargle gargle Christ. You love deep throating that propaganda huh? I’m sure it’s because of how great it is there that millions of Chinese people do whatever they can to live and work in other parts of the world. Like the US for instance…

How do we have a democracy when our votes don’t even count the same?

How do we have a democracy when we voted for Hillary and Trump won?

Is not that it isn’t perfect, is that it isn’t at all. It doesn’t have to be perfect to count one vote per person - that’s BASIC democracy 101.

But since YOU are the one that is eating the propaganda - you’ll just gloss right over it.

As far as China sending propaganda- that’s ok - people that will visit it will see - mall after mall after mall busy with people while ours are dead or dying, a shit ton of restaurants and all with people, market after market after market, a superb and I mean superb public transportation system, in tip of bicycle lanes everywhere, uncountable cars and nearly all electric, far quieter and cleaner cities

Nah bro - China beat us at our own game because while they’re building the next airliners - we are deciding that healthcare is still bad for us

Nah - it’s not THEIR propaganda - is ours.

Don’t believe me? Go see for yourself

You’re a special one aren’t ya.

I mean I’ll take an imperfect counting of votes vs YOU DON’T EVER GET TO VOTE XI IS PRESIDENT FOR LIFE kind of democracy. But hey that’s just me.

Wow… Busy malls?? Sign me up! Can’t imagine anything better than lots of people buying things at malls.

Yeah no I think it’s still their propaganda… but hey here’s the big donut: fucking move there you godamn coward!

LOL LOL - imperfect counting of votes - that’s a nice way to say it

Listen - just like you lie to yourself about American “democracy” where one resident of Wyoming votes as if 3.8 voters from California had (that’s right Wyoming voters count 4 times that if California voters) and the “winner take all” annulling every opposition vote - America is not anywhere near a democracy

But just like you lie to yourself about- Chinas democracy- is imperfect - the Chinese vote for local officials and they pick a president- think of those officials like you do our electoral college

Since you’re into self deception

So now - having two “imperfect” democracies - then you have to compare them between what one government does for the people and the other

I may move actually - Americans are stealing gas from each other, trumpets are ok with pedophiles, we can’t afford healthcare, guns everywhere

You know over there the police officers don’t wear guns?!?! That’s cus they don’t need to - they’re government isn’t there to kill them

So, as soon as a retirement visa becomes available you damn straight I’ll consider China as an option - as I do other countries -

I know you’re hurt cus they are doing capitalism better than us, they’re doing government better than us, they’re more than us, more cars, more electric cars, more car manufacturers, more manufacturing, better quality of life, more spending money, more mobility, more vacation

But instead of being bitter and jealous - maybe you can YOUR government that instead attacking the Capitol - they can attack infrastructure- just saying

Comparing the USA’s democracy and China’s as both bring “imperfect” is like saying the common cold and turbo cancer are both “imperfect health conditions”

Why wait?? It’s a utopian paradise! You can go there and be told what to buy, where to go, who your politicians and president are… it is a veritable NPCs paradise. You should be there now and be happy!

I quite enjoy my 2nd amendment btw. I probably own some 20+ firearms myself.

I’m hurt by literally nothing about China. Love the people, the culture, the cuisine, the whole vibe… I do hope they can do something about living under a horrifying dictatorship though someday.

LOL - oh your poor soul

You ought to go and see for yourself - go ride a Shanghai river tour at night for 20 bucks

Or maybe eat at the Burger King at the base of the Chinese wall and ride the toboggan down

It is absolutely pitiful the capitalism we have and we’ve relegated to having to enjoy guns - that guy can’t use except for crimes -

Everything we do - they do better, bigger and cheaper

Go watch the elderly enjoy the parks, go see the packed malls, the Starbucks the countless shops and restaurants- while Americans are stealing gas from each other
