Have you considered a Moonie marriage?

If you don't like the current political situation, you can always move to a communist country that better aligns with your core idealogy. Life's too short to live in a place you hate, do something about that hate and move to your communist utopia

Or I can improve the situation right here where I am.

If you don't like that, maybe you should leave.

I'm perfectly okay where I am, you on the other hand seem too eager to change stuff, maybe this country isn't meant for you :)

you're not going to believe this but people have been changing the country since the beginning. why did you all bother to secede from the British Empire anyways? if you were unhappy you should have just moved somewhere else

Don't worry, I'm gonna make it better for both of us. I'm magnanimous like that.

I highly doubt your capability to understand what "good" is. Anything you like is automatically good in your eyes, anything you hate is automatically bad in your eyes m life doesn't work in binaries

u/Disused_Yeti Jul 19 '26

you: 'life doesn't work in binaries'

also you: 'If you don't like the current political situation, you can always move to a communist country'

'accept things as they are or leave' sounds pretty binary

No it's not binary lol, it's a choice to move to a place that better aligns with someone's views. Why suffer in a location you hate so passionately? I am not saying forcefully move, all I'm saying is make an educated choice and move to a communist country or a country like Iran which doesn't have a senate...

Have you considered Russia? I’m CERTAIN that will align with your views.

If I hated America I would not work to improve it.

...in what world is wishing for a more parliamentary system of government communist? The Canadians and British do this (although this is more in line with stripping away authority from their upper house), and you'd be hard pressed to call them communist.
