Assholes voting for assholes doing asshole things make us feel less like assholes then the assholes the assholes voted for. Right?

Fucking vote. Even if the news says John Hitler only has a 1% chance of winning and your candidate is guaranteed. Your vote counts. DO IT.

Even if your vote counts for jack shit in the presidential elections, city, county, and state elections have a direct impact on your life.

So fuck Democracy, right?

Democracy is great, it's just that the people suck.

yeah well that's the main criticism of a complete democracy actually (which btw the US doesn't have) the majority is often selfish/ignorant.

Most people are selfish and ignorant and always have been. And with our shit public education in the US, that's gonna stay true.

I think it maybe more about human nature rather than education

Haven't I heard that your secretary of education wants to banish public school? Dunno if I should cry or laugh

We need kids to want to learn. We need Asian parents in every household.

You are afraid of the liberty to choose to be an ignorant moron.

Mandatory education is a good thing. I'm definitely against someone's "right to be a stupid uneducated dumbass".

Not all nations offer public school. problem: it breeds a cycle of poverty that then starts when they can't afford a privatized school.

(2) people then need to seek out low wage jobs at the age of like 15, and get stuck. Corruption and bad choices abound.

Not even low IQ. Ignorant. Unaware and uninterested in being informed, educated.

Should he instead hate them?

Why would he hate his voter base who elected him?

People who are poorly educated can't tell if what he does is illegal or not, and usually they are too focused on making a living to care.

He loves them because they are easy to deceive and take advantage of.

And that's why he never complained about politics. Garbage in, garbage out. This is the best we can do, people.

That's a nihilistic position. I'm guessing you think Obama was equal garbage to Trump, and so on, all the way back to Washington.

That's more of a realistic position. Nihilist wouldn't bother judging the quality of voters/politicians.

its so sad that people belittle thinking for themselves as juvenile. tells you when the last time they did it themselves.

Thinking for yourself is great, becoming a broken record of 'anyone I don't agree with is stupid' is not
