    Outside of the fries and pancakes the rest isn’t that bad. Hurr dürr hate on America and all because it’s popular to do so. But hash browns and home fries are just potatoes browned with butter in a skillet. Bacon and sausage and eggs are a decent source of protein. Toast is normal unless you live somewhere that hasn’t learned what bread is. English muffins are no worse than toast and biscuits aren’t even awful on their own. Juice, milk and coffee are all fine. I guess I don’t see the “prime American junk food” outside of the sugary pancakes and fries. And frankly as an American I wouldn’t eat any of those for breakfast. The blueberry pancakes on occasion but never the other two.







  • I mean to really change whether third parties work in the US we need systemic changes and regulations to the voting structure because getting a populist movement stateside is nigh impossible. The only reason to vote for someone that doesn’t represent you halfway is to hopefully prevent the person who doesn’t represent you at all from getting in.



  • It’s less a vote for Trump and more a lack of a vote for the party that can realistically defeat him. I wish 3rd parties were a viable federal election option. But they aren’t yet to a point where they can realistically win in the US.

    So the sentiment that not voting, or voting for a guaranteed loss is a vote for the worse of the two parties with a chance to win isn’t entirely without merit, it’s just poorly phrased. It means that if you fail to vote for the person that can win over the worse candidate, you have given the worse candidate a better opportunity to win.
