US Republicans passing their tax reform bill today
| No. You guys there are slipping down the slope at always increasing speed. Doing a really good job isolating yourselves from all the rest of the world.
| Who cares if they get voted out. The dems will just be garbage as well. The only office I care about for voting for is the operator of The People’s Guillotine
| Ouch XD
| Hope so, but I dunno. Republicans will vote just to keep democrats out, so who knows if this'll be enough for them to realize their reps are screwing them over
| And this is why I glad I live in Canada now.
| >>75011 so were you not happy to live there before? Is it a schadenfreude thing? I do tend to hear this sentiment from Canadians frequently, the same one you hear from US conservatives, actually: "don't like the US? Move to Canada." And it's like, you know people with consciences can't just abandon their families to the fascists, right? The US and Canada both have this erroneous idea that they're liberal countries, which plays right into conservative hands.
| >>75623 I moved here due to my job but I actually like it better here. Even the conserverative here don't call you a cucklord libtard just because you are left-leaning, which is very nice.
| >>75666 that only really happens to me on the internet, which I'm becoming increasingly suspicious is largely dominated by media shills, both conscious and unconscious, and trolls, both professional and amateur. And I live in Texas USA #1, that last great liberal bastion. Do you think the US problems are fixable?
| >>75881 There is people like that in real life too, I assure you. At least in California, which is the liberal lizardman commandbase as far as I know.
As for US problems, I'm sure we're good at creating more problems to solve problems anyway, so...
| California is actually conservative as heck outside of the cities, and most of "liberal Hollywood" is actually pro-big business conservative as well. I was joking about calling Texas liberal, but it does have the chance to turn blue this upcoming election. >>75913 I feel like we're losing the Cold War and the Civil War at the same time. I used to think if WW2 repeated itself, we'd be Germany, but now I feel more like Italy.
| Grass is greener, etc.
While I was visiting Canada, I was struck by two realizations:
1) With a couple exceptions, Canada is not very different economically nor culturally from America, and
2) Their politics is just as shit. People complaining about the same problems in the U.S, including and not limited to healthcare issues. Taxes being among the chiefest complaints, because their so exorbitantly high there... with little to show for it.
| One of the cities I visited in particular was Vancouver, which is running on fumes right now- it experienced massive growth during the Winter Olympics but when that ended, so too did the revenue- but leaving all of the infrastructure. Infrastructure that the city can't afford to keep running and so experiences regular breakdowns with long maintenance times and speaks to what are possibly greater logistical errors in the city.
| Judging a country by one of its top cities is probably as disingenuous as making sweeping assumptions about entire races as a whole based on a few assholes, but to hell with it- Canada isn't better at all. Nor is Germany, nor Russia, nor the UK, nor any other country, really. Everyone is fucked in the head in some way.
Even the Nordic States have their own share of problems to offset their benefits.
| "Drain the swamp, drain the swamp!" They said.
Now this swamp becomes bigger and bigger...
Good Job you stupid Trump Supporters. I'm pretty sure most of you don't own as company or pay the peak income-tax. I which you a live in poverty and slavery to your beloved bosses.

| Do you think there's a chance they'll be voted out and their policies reversed before their regressive plan can cause another depression?
