You know, all the reasons I didn't want a Chinese car are now also present in American cars...

We need to start raiding junkyards for old cars, and working on making electric conversions without corporate cloud connections and integrated spyware more accessible.

Or, and hear me out on this, push our useless elected officials to fucking do something for the people instead of the highest bidder.

Hahaha, good one! Guards! Seize this impudent peasant and whip him to the bone!

They're all bought, pushing them only gets pointless promises during campaigns that will be ignored as soon as they get your vote.

Whether it's a pedophile MAGAt, or that piece of shit Jeffries, they're all a joke...

And it's not funny.

Thats because people only vote for one of two parties therefore neither party needs to do anything to secure their votes. All they have to do is convince you that the other party is/would be worse rather than actually doing things that benefit people or have a real impact.

We need universal ranked choice voting.

Or at least people showing up to the PRIMARIES and kicking these pieces of shit out before they become the DNC annointed one.
