No seriously, the amount of stupid remarks I hear coming from Europeans is insane, “Americans why do you not have healthcare, if you guys just changed your policies you would be fine, you all love guns and policies that make life a living hell.”

No dumbass, I have no control over my government and not every single American gets pissy over little things because we’re not a hive mind.

That’s like saying every Frenchman riots and is a good lover, it happens but clearly that’s not the case.

I mean we do have control, we vote.

Also, having health care for all isn’t a “little thing”, it can make or break lives…

I’m talking about the straw thing he was on about. That “little thing”

And I honestly think the amount of power our vote is a joke. Between the corrupt gerrymandering politicians and the corporate lobbyists, the average person has little say in our society.

If our vote mattered my generation wouldn’t be struggling to buy food and pay rent for the past decade

Really long way of saying “We’re too cowardly and selfish to get off our fat arses and do something about it, like the french do”
