If i am wrong explain France. Its a democratic republic and none of the peoples wishes are being heard, hence the riots. Elections don't mean shit. It's all a rigged farce.

I've got news for you: State governments are just as easily corrupted as the feds, and just as hard to bring to heel.
I live in Pennsylvania, a deep-red state whose politics are completely controlled by the political machine of the filthadelphia/shittsburgh axis.
I know these scumbags are working at the state level too. The difference is, we can oppose them at the state level in a meaningful way. Show up and be heard. Politicians who agree with us will be more likely to speak out if they know they have strong support.
I have nothing better to do than be a pain in their ass for as long as it takes to fix things. That's my plan. I think it's better than nothing.
Shhh, now now, don't ruin the right wing talking points.
OP suggested Democratic Republics don't work, so why do we bother? It felt like dooming to me so I attempted to counter with a bit of a patriotic call to everyone to step up and do our part to fix the situation. Your comment implies my call to action was some sort of right wing talking point. Do left wingers want the opposite; bigger government, less freedom, more intrusion? If so, then yes, I'm proud to be of spreading right wing talking points (AKA common sense).
Do you support the current state of our Federal government? Are you happy the way things are now? Do you believe a Federal government with even more power will benefit common citizens? I'm curious what it was which triggered you to produce your comment. Maybe you've got some insight which will help me see things differently. I've been wrong before and I'm sure I'll be wrong again. Or maybe you're a Federal agent assigned to derail conversations on this platform. Please enlighten us.
