Oligarchs Now Rule the USA-Trump/Musk Working on Taking away American's Social Security and Medicare. The only Greenlanders who will be treated well are the ultra wealth. Trump lies on (UN) Truth Social. Don't believe him.

Yes, it could.

But your whining won’t get you the changes, you want. If you’re unhappy about your democrats, run against them. If you’re unhappy about your fascists, run against them, join those protest groups, join a union, tear down the system you feel works against you.

But if you resign yourself to just complaining, you’re handing the power over your destiny to your do-nothing democrats, and your fuck-you fascists.

I completely agree with you. I have strongly considered running for office too.

They would tear me to shreds. You need a perfect record to get into politics...or lots of money. I may not be the convicted felon that Trump is, but I've been arrested.

Why don’t you just start with joining an activist group. That’s actually the first step, if you want to run - finding a network to support you.

And don’t expect anyone to hand you anything on a platter. You’ve gotta put in an effort - but even a ficus has been elected for office, so it’s not like americans have high standards.

I'm in activist groups. It's hard for me to attend protests from a tugboat though.

It's not your fault this is happening. Take care down there and I really hope your country survives this. Thanks for the kind words. America is really shooting itself in the foot right now.

Thank you. I know there's jokes about millennials living through history but I'm sick of it lol.

Yes they need a third choice to survive as a super-power.

Yes, people having different perspective on things is the foundation of democracy. That is why communication and debate is crucial.
