They're an opposition party that's prevented the people of the United States from passing any significant legislation since 2010. We don't have a country anymore.

Americans are a stateless people thanks to dark money. Buckle up.

Since we're stateless I guess I'll go get an abortion and stop paying rent.

That government doesn't really serve the people. Does it serve us to stop women from having abortions? Does it serve us to allow housing to be an investment vehicle?

(This is a question about your perspective and not a gotcha)

When has a state served the people? Is it no longer a state if it's like most of them?
