So, the people don't count if they live in a city?
Tyranny?
You mean you want to alter the balance so they have less of a voice than rural / suburban folks.
This is in direct contradiction to your own constitution.
Err, because the people, the actual PEOPLE want to keep him?
Let me tell you something, as you are so fond of telling me that because I don't live in the US I should not comment. Cuomo, despite all his failings is being seen GLOBALLY as a leader who has had to make the tough decisions to keep your state safe and get you guys out of the pit you find yourself in now. You want to hang him? Join one of the moronic militia's that turn up armed with guns and ignore the social distancing rules in your precious "red states" based on what your "fake news" media that you watch tells you.
I've tried to bridge the divide, I've done it here and in PM's but you seem incapable of seeing that, so what am I supposed to do?
I could put you on ignore, but that stops the conversation and I don't agree with that stance, but damn you frustrate the hell out of me, not because you have a different opinion, but you are utterly unwilling to even compromise on position.
Years ago Magi and I had a conversation about guns, and as he is in rural PA, he made the case that he needed a semi auto for pest control, I argued against anyone needing them. In the end, after several pages, I agreed with his need for such a weapon because it served a purpose -for him-
All I am asking is for you to keep a somewhat open mind, be willing to see both sides, not just one.
Is that really too much to ask for?
Not by choice though, was it?
You had MONTHS of time to address this issue, but if you look at raw footage and tweets by people they have downplayed and frankly ignored the issue. The CARE act was a bi-partisan response, not done by the WH, but by your congress, so who exactly should you be thanking?
Yes congress is part of the federal government, but who is in charge of it right now? You like what they have done but you bemoan who is in charge. The WH could have done so much more to protect it's citizens, but it did not, so who failed here?
And exactly WHO is leading that charge for a independent inquiry into the failings of "the system" to know how and why this virus became an issue? Frigging Australia, picking a political fight with it's largest trading partner because it's the right thing to do for the safety of all. We are getting SLAMMED by Chinese press, they are saying we are being stupid and hostile towards them, they are even threatening us with "potential consequences" in militaristic tones.
So, don't tell me that your federal government has been "effective", it's one rolling ball of stupid. Weather you like it or not, "the west" looks to the US for guidance, and in this case it has failed, not just locally, but globally.
