No not tired of Trump or Biden but the whole government. The incompetence overall. Please don’t harp on one of the presidents all day. BOTH SUCK. In fact if you look real hard you’ll realize all of them sucked

    My government is good. Really good actually. But they’re hamstrung by the voters being god-awful.

    If you replace the government with nothing, you get nothing. If you replace the government with private sector, you get shit quality and less service at a higher cost.

    So, take your pick.

    I’m pretty tired of the way EU works today, and needs a reformation to be taken seriously. The voting process of a union is just killing it, and there is no progress, when 1 or 2 nations can just veto against, and then nothing happens. This is apparently an “unforseen” - bug in the system. Which automatically should lead us towards federalising, and Saying: “Everyone who wants EU can join, everyone who doesn’t, we’ll still be friends and making trade deals, but you are no longer getting any of the sweet benefits from EU.”

    It is not the government that is incompetent, that is an idea promoted by the right and the billionaires that fund both parties.

    Why do so many Americans think the US has a huge crime problem? It is promoted by the same people. Statistics do not support it.

      Where you been at buddy? As an American I can tell you the government is INDEED incompetent. The right didn’t create that idea good God. George Bush was incompetent in 2000 and he was the right

        The leadership is not the government. Leadership varies widely. The actual government workers and departments are different. Lot of very compitent people. There are questioms of course, Big organizations tend to grow, how to address. What should be the priorites. Polotics and money tend to corrupt. Like IRS, rich people do not want to pay their taxes so republicans always under fund.

        If your talking presidents. Trump is the least comperent in my life time. Bush 2, first term not really there, second a lot better. The others back to the 70s which I lives through and was old enough to follow, mostly competend but all issues of course. I am not rating these on whether I approve of their policies.

    Here in Germany, a minority is, but most people I interact with are quite happy and trust the government. They do fear the right wing though.

        Ob er here, People trust the government and although they may complain, in the end they see the politicians as their peers instead of enemies. Germany is naturally famous for its ”Realpolitik”: some things can’t be fixed so a realistic consensus must be achieved. In the USA this used to be possible, but it seems MAGA don’t like compromise 🤭

    In theory the youth are, but in practice organizing seems to be more difficult and there is a lack of clear direction on how to improve things (ie: if everything is bad)

      And that is why their dreamy revolutions and shit won’t work. This stuff requires planning, but there isn’t enough intelligence around to do that.
