You can vote out an elected leader, but not Sam and Dario. It's very weird that you're so willing to give up any kind of power and want to be ruled by unelected billionaires who only want to take advantage of you at every opportunity.
- ben_w 9d agoHi, I'm not a citizen of the USA. I can't vote out your president, and we've already got a huge trust problem with the one y'all went for.
- autoexec 9d agoYeah, the entire rest of the world has pretty much been stuck being ruled by unelected billionaires who only want to take advantage of them at every opportunity. It's a problem. It's starting to change though. The EU is starting to walk away from their abusive relationship with Microsoft and Amazon. China has a lot of their own stuff (mostly to better control their people though). As an American, I'm still hoping it's not too late to fix things, but it's got to be hard for those outside the US to be so dependent on it, especially when we're looking like a sinking ship and our current administration is still running around drilling holes in the hull. You can always become a US citizen to get a voice, but I wouldn't recommend it now or you'll be thrown in prison as soon as you show up to your scheduled immigration hearing. The better option is to keep trying to reduce your dependence on US companies and consider the worst aspects of our current situation (in both corporate policy and government) as a cautionary tale so you can try to avoid them in your own country.
