Its the same the world over. Elections are won on simple & usually short-term issues that concern money.
Not enough people take the time, can afford, or have the perspective to grasp the complexities. Weak political systems (only 2 choices) such as in the US make things worse.
The rich are winning

I agree 100% but I also know the economy is what moves people the most and that changing public opinion will, though painfully, require making MAGA folks see how even their hateful asses are hurt by all of this.

If all you know about her is the "full of shit" ad, here's a link to her platform so you make a more informed decision. Unfortunately her campaign donation reservoir is peanuts compared to the Ladybug.

When I first started out as a journalist I thought it paid to have a background in US history when covering America. Then I thought it would probably be better to be a constitutional lawyer with expertise in jurisprudence. Now I think it would be useful to be a psychiatrist.

I demand UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER of the Epstein Filesโand then your title of "President of the United States," and your liberty to walk freely in public.
That would be GREAT & ACCEPTABLE.

The big difference is that paying fair, progressive taxes for the inestimable benefits you cite, is overwhelmingly beneficial. For both the individual and the society.

The ayatollah is the religious leader and the supreme political power.
Like medieval England.The king was also head of the church. His word was law and the word of god.
The middle east brings money, oil, monarchies and intolerance together in one place.
Ideal playground for authoritarians.

Sickening.
Religious people are always the least tolerant.
Loudly & aggressively with war & proselytising or quietly by their voting and funding, they are ALL actively trying to force their worldview on the rest of us
Iran: โMuslimโ
US/Maga: โChristian/whiteโ
Both led by radicals.
Both evil.

Anyone that believes this bullshit to me falls in the same category as Maga.
Stop trying to force religion into everyday life. Religion is supposed to be a choice.

Quite likely, but no worse than Google.
We shouldnโt expect something for nothing - as you say, there is no such thing.
The โfreeโ schooling, health care etc. we get in Ireland is not free - we are taxed for it, and rightly so. Progressive taxes distribute the burden evenly so the rich pay more.

Fair point, of course. We in Europe have little time for the ๐๐ฉ and those around him, but thr problem is deeper than ChatGPT.
The US political system is based on corruption - money is expected to be spent โsupportingโ politicians, by design!! Thatโs not democratic. The whole system needs reform.
