Who the hell actually gives a fuck about the 4th of July? For most ppl i know it's either just time and a half, another day off, or a short workday. No more no less

Didn't expect that

Something, something, broken clock...

That is definitely not true lol. Revolutions can lead to power vacuums that can makes things even worse

Well if that's the case someone from a formerly poor or war torn nation can have pride being from there because their ppl survived. You're just moving the goal post

You're wasting your breath. Ppl like OP bitch and scream about ppl abstaining but a Trump was going to happen eventually because the system is inherently flawed and Democrats wanted to keep it that way. You literally have leader of the Democratic caucus mad that voters are voting in more leftist candidates.

Like you said it's not a failure of the voters, it's a failure of the party

You wouldn't exist without the sun, but no one's out being proud of the sun.

Either my point flew over your head like a 737 or you're just bad at arguing...

If you were born one town, city, or state away from where you were born you'd essentially be a completely different person. Its perfectly reasonable for someone to be proud of where they come from because the overall experience there shaped them as a person in what they consider a net positive.

Because being a citizen of that country/city means you are inherently responsible for and add to the culture of said country/city. There's no song, novel, or individual that is created without outside influence and in the vast majority of cases that influence comes from a village/city/country. You literally wouldn't exist as the person you know if you were born somewhere else.

There's nothing wrong with being proud of where you come from. It only becomes problematic when it becomes nationalism

Easy as hell to say when you don't say to do it yourself. Revolution is bloody and things more often than not end up worse after. Especially with how heavily armed US police forces are

Only the naive would think that a mass riot would somehow make things better.

This holier than thou attitude that equates religion solely with ignorance and hatred. Essentially blaming all of the world's problems on the feet of the religious when it's usually just the greedy and prideful. Its like that episode of South Park where they love the smell of their own farts.

Internet atheism is ripe with pretentiousness which is weird because in person it's usually quieter and a lot more nuanced. And before you go there I don't subscribe to any religion but I don't feel the need to call the religious stupid

Don't forget racism, sexism, and pond scum

How fucking stupid do you have to be to literally fight against the representatives that your constituents VOTED IN. Jesus its like Democrats are addicted to failure.

Please for the love of all that is holy vote out all this centrist simpletons who sit around with their dicks in their hands.
