USA has become so third world country. They should make decisions based on scientific information not based on some conservative beliefs.
third world means neither usa, nor east (Russia-China) sympathizer. This phrase is also commonly used to refer to countries with developing, weaker economies. Now USA is neither. Americans can deny, ease, erase, paint the history built on racism and conservativism, it will always rise up to the top. This is exactly what happened again. Shame on everyone who voted valid. No matter for who. Invalid voters and non-voters did right. Democracy has always enabled the most vile to rank up to the top. We heard about Peistratos and Hitler, who were enabled to commit heinous crimes against humanity, while being democratically elected. This is why anarchism, despite its vulrenabilities, is still the best system, that actually works very well in smaller communities.
I think David Graeber and David Wengrove make a case that it has worked in bigger communities too.
