@na4valve "wrong" You can't just declare something, without saying why. I could just declare anything. Here's one: "Coca-Cola is made from unicorn sweat." And that idiotic statement was at least punctuated, had more than one word, and was perhaps mildly amusing. What you wrote is an insipid cough.

Well, when you say "America," you don't mean the majority of the citizens. I can't do anything about holding Trump accountable. Maybe you don't mean it that way, but I feel it's a point that should be made.

@cybertoe1221 "Everything isn't always about you." Trotting out that tired old cliche? I didn't say it was about me. I used me as an example, but referred to "the majority of the citizens." And I also said, "Maybe you don't mean it that way." And, no, what they wrote about "America" was in no way clear that they meant "the American judicial system." But, as I said, they probably did mean that. They just weren't clear. It's just that, as I wrote, I felt the distinction should be made. Sometimes someone will say the world is evil, for example, when they really mean something like, "Evil happens in the world." But see how different those statements are? Worlds apart, if you'll pardon the pun. Same here.

"Honestly, the fact that Trump was once the President of the United States baffles me. He was, and still is, the laughingstock of the world" Writing this must be Zoltore's equivalent of, "I am Groot."

@timothy635 "I find a lot of people outside of the states when commenting on American politics, appear to paint the American people the same colour as their politicians. As if they have a lot in common with their own leaders." Thank you. It's understandable, even logical. Supposedly we'd elect people to represent the majority of us. And, therefore, whomever is elected represents the majority of the country. Sadly, it doesn't work that way, especially when it comes to judges. Trump didn't win the popular vote, for example, and yet appointed over 300 federal judges during his four years. But knowing that our cousins on the other side of the pond have a similar situation of not being perfectly represented, does put their otherwise logical perspective in an interesting light.

@na4valve Why don't you read what the German wrote above you? They obviously know what they're talking about.

@johntomasini3916 "My choice of words doesn't come close to what I think America's problems are, but I recognize the point you make." Good, thank you. But then you go on to say that it is American citizens, after all, who you're thinking about. Aw man. Well, let me say that, in theory, I agree with you. More than half the people in the country who are eligible to vote...don't. So, yeah, that's a problem. However, and I can't believe I'm going to write something so corny, just know I'm being sincere: They are free to not vote. So while their not voting is a major problem, it's something that you and I have no say in. It's their choice. I agree with you, though, on most every point you make...in theory. I really do. We can't actually have an accurate democracy if the citizens don't all show up to elect people to represent them. Still, less than half the country does vote. And that is our choice. Freedom again. And yes, the judiciary is corrupted by politicians. That's not really about freedom. That's about all the worst angels of America's nature. Basically, I think you're right on the money, and I'd sign my name to your perspective a lot faster than I would those apathetic citizens. America does have a massive amount of problems.

@na4valve Tell you what? I suggested reading the post above, written by someone from Germany. It's the person with the username Sina aka Potato Supreme. You originally said "wrong" (remember that long, thoughtful post of yours?) to the person above, who talked about WWII, which their father fought in. Remember? That's why we started our exchange. So read what someone from Germany has to say. They're obviously intelligent, by how they write, and sincere.

@johntomasini3916 "I consider it a privilege to live in Australia, a true democracy." Wow. I didn't realize you live in Australia. Now I see why your posts are so intelligent, and your thoughts so well organized. What is the democracy like in Australia? Do you have a representative democracy, in which you elect people to govern by representing those who vote for them? Do most people vote? I'd love to hear from you about that.

A.I. is going to be a huge problem moving forward, not the least of which will be what David mentioned here. The chair person of of the RNC said something that is fake by definition isn't fake. We're through the looking glass here. What happens when they have a shallow fake of some lgbtq person going on a shooting spree, or Democrats stuffing ballot boxes, or who knows what all?
