Obviously, the fine detail is very important to you as an informed American. I don't know whether you have a legal background or work in a political field, or whether you are just interested.
I perform my duty as a citizen of this nation by educating myself and accessing the public documents that any American can access (for free) if they want to make the effort.
But you are being pretty unrealistic to expect the vast, vast majority to have the energy, inclination, educaton or means to understand all the ins and outs of constitutional law or political machinations in general. For the vast majority, it is not their fault, your system never gave them a chance.
Okay I didn't say I expected anyone to understand the ins and outs of constitutional law (I don't and most constitutional lawyers don't and neither do judges for that matter - both tend to specialize as our constitution is so lengthy and wordy). In regards to the energy, inclination, or education - I see those as excuses to be ignorant of our government. Those that choose ignorance at their own peril are oft surprised when they are suddenly persecuted. I began my journey in middle school in American Government class and continued as a homeless teenager at the free public library (because they would let me stay all night). Yep I totally saw myself as superior to my compatriots while I was wearing the same clothes for days on end, bathing at school, eating customer leftovers from their plates at work, and playing off to the authorities that all was hunky dory.
Your attitude towards people with an equal voting right as you is replete with contempt.
Because they choose to be ill-informed and follow popular sentiment? Because they don't read anything and vote based on SM and MSM only? Because they pander feelings as facts and hate (literally fucking hate and make threats to) people like me that actually care about material reality and seek pragmatic legislature? Yes I hold their perspectives in contempt because they are in contempt as they are guilty of disrespecting our duty to provide freedom/liberty/justice to all Americans. By choosing ignorance they condemn the most vulnerable to terrible circumstances. My family, friends, neighbors, and acquaintances all voted for their picks. I support their right to choose the candidate(s) they believe they align most with but most of them are admittedly uninformed and voted based on platitudes. I have a right to my perspective and so do they - I don't hate them or otherwise though I am saddened and frustrated by their lack of commitment.
Perhaps that's justified in your experience; but if Brexit has taught us British anything, woe betide telling someone with as much power as you have that they are a fuckwit.
Well I would never call any of them fuckwits; I might call them sheeple/uninformed/self-righteous to their faces after sharing actual facts if they continue to attempt to lecture me on things they are painfully ignorant about (it is a constant). On occasion I see that little light go off and I can only hope that they will read more and listen less to platitudes. Not because I'm right but because I hope to have a better discussion the next go around. Intelligent discourse regarding politics is a rarity here IME.
Perhaps using all that knowledge to start a conversation at grassroots level might change a few minds.
That is why I am an active member of WoLF, have started a local women's group, and donate to WHRC. Additionally, I speak to anyone in person that is even somewhat receptive to me to garner support for sex-based rights in the US.
Nobody on a UK website is going to care much once this thread disappears into the annals.
I guess it depends on how the outcome affects the greater world, you could be totally correct in that assertion. I have no idea.
We've got our own problems, and have been told quite categorically that our gender ID issues aren't your issues, and that we don't understand your issues.
I disagree with the PPs that state as much. We basically have self-ID in many states. Currently legislature moves towards encapsulating gender identity under 'sex' which is a huge threat while including sexual orientation is an obvious and needed addition. The TR movement is a big problem here but it is now inextricably tied to BLM so barely anyone will put their heads above the parapet for fear of losing their jobs or being called a bigot (regardless of skin color, sex, or sexual orientation). Sounds pretty similar to what you all are enduring TBH. We aren't Canada (yet) but the nation is being pulled into the vortex.
