More than half of Harris voters, 51 percent, say that America is not a functioning democracy, while 52 percent of Trump voters take the opposite view and say the U.S. is a model.

I'm amazed only half think America is not a functioning democracy. American "democracy" is totally broken.

They're talking about voters. Most people didn't.

1/3 didn't. That's not good, but it's not most people.

Oh, I got it backwards. I thought 1/3 did.

1/3 was for Kamala, a little bigger 1/3 for Trump and the rest don't deserve citizenship.

I heard they have some free spots in North Korea. Maybe you should move there.

I'd prefer Australia where voting is compulsory. Maybe if we got a free sausage with voting lazy ass Americans would show up to do their civic fucking duty. If you don't vote your opinion doesn't matter.

Same people who think peaceful protest at this point in time will yield results.
