It is straight up depressing that Canada and France get these beautiful liberal men as their leaders

[La Lioness Priyanka]

and Germany gets this iconic strong woman Angela Merkel

and we get a doddering old racist.

This was such a depressing week to be american.

1. This is just one moment in time.

Both of those countries have had uninspiring and conservative leaders. And we were certainly fortunate for the 8 years preceding this one.

Our time will come again.

[VOX]

9. It's gonna be a L. O. N. G. moment...

It's hasn't even been a full five months yet, and the country's already staggering.

You're correct, of course. The greatest hope is that things aren't too damaged by the time sane leadership takes the reins again. Some disasters turn on a dime, which is why Trump has to be removed from office.

2. Yeah

[greymattermom]

3. Jon Ossoff is cute

and I voted for him today.

[CurtEastPoint]

4. I WISH I were in the 6th! Thanks for voting your Ossoff!

[oberliner]

5. We had Obama for 8 years

France had Chiraq and Sarkozy for 17 years.

Canada had Harper for 9.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

6. none of those leaders are as shitty as trump

i would happily trade Trump for Harper or Sarkozy.

[oberliner]

7. But Trump should end up with a much shorter term

Than either of those.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

8. he is more intensely destructive though, so it will feel longer.

[DavidDvorkin]

10. Macron isn't a liberal

Certainly preferable to the orange buffoon, of course.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

11. in the context of the US he is very liberal.

[monmouth4]

12. I absolutely agree with you and had the same thought as I watched those two meeting. sad..n/t

[onecent]

13. I like Angela Merkel
