There's no harm in tearing down something that doesn't benefit the majority of voters in this country. I say let 'er burn.

- mikeash 10y agoYes, perfect illustration of my point. The government benefits the people enormously. Yes, it has a lot of problems, but we're way better off with it than without it. I can totally understand a desire for reform, but simply tearing it down is insane.
- jazzyk 10y agoThe only way to force the government to reform is to vote out the party that screwed up. Unfortunately, in the US, both parties colluded to work for their corporate sponsors, not the people who vote for them, so they both need to be disrupted somehow. Most voters understand it, and that explains the anti-establishment voting in this election (Sanders/Trump)
- mikeash 10y agoThere's a big difference between "reform" and "tear down." I'm specifically referring to people who say they want the second. I can understand, if not agree with, people who want to elect Trump so he can reform the system. I think people who want to elect Trump to tear the system down don't understand what that means.
- jeli 10y agoAhh yes, there's no benefit to being under the American government; we might as well all pack up and move to North Korea, because any change is good change!
