The instability of the US government is by design: no Presidents' for life; single party-rule is discouraged; three co-equal branches of government; sovereign states; and so on.
I, like many Americans, will always prefer democratic elections, rule of law, due process, right to bears arms in self defense, and free speech over government imposed "stability" any day.
- Dahoon 6y agoIronic when many Europeans doesnt see the US as particularly democratic. Having two parties that -compared to where I live- are both right wing doesn't look like a democracy to me. Actually the US smells a lot like a nation just about to become facist.
- amznthrwaway 6y agoThe US government is designed poorly. Only an American would be stupid enough to mistake their two-party system for choice. Also, only an American would be dumb enough to look at the "co-equal branches of government" in the modern times and call them co-equal. You have been brainwashed. You don't have choice. You're just tricked into thinking you have some. Democratic elections? Between candidates selected for you, and with electors who can fix the glitch if the people vote in the wrong way. Rule of law? That is hilarious. Laws do not apply to the American elite. For example, Roger Stone. Or if you're a republican, Bill Clinton. Right to bear arms? Bullshit. Ruby Ridge. Waco. Black Lives Matter. The right to bear arms is just a slogan to sell guns to dumb Americans. Free speech? Only if you say the right things, in the right place. Say the wrong things and you get pepper sprayed and arrested, or people get you fired. Americans are not freer than Chinese. They are just dumber.
