It wasn't orderly and nice like a wedding and it shouldn't be.

The bill was passed under "message of necessity" procedure. Don't you think the "toughest gun control law in the country" should maybe be handled with a bit more care? Cuomo simply has and utilizes too much gubernatorial power.

Because it’s exactly what we’ve voted for

Sorry if it’s not convenient but it’s 100% true - just ****ing face it already

I live upstate and have heard very little vocal supporters of Cuomo, which makes me think most of his voterbase lies in NYC. Most of New York does not care for Cuomo but the most population dense area does, which makes him win. NY being a blue state doesn't automatically mean blue candidates are accepted.

...and a lot of people in NYC probably share this mindset.

We created the disasters in Africa

Sudan Rwanda Algeria South Africa Liberia all of it destroyed by western DEMOCRACIES

and yes it is like that

the countries that colonized occupied exploited forced false borders and languages on them were all democracies

Trump does not win the presidency without rural areas being given disproportionate power

those are just examples and I know you're talking on a broader scale, but it can be extrapolated out to these bigger things that you think are supposedly "democratic" as well

Trump now? Keep digging
