    It's funny that no liberal ever makes the connection between the political "machine" and real machines. We're not still using mechanical adding machines with human "computers". Old machines are superseded by new and better ones. The American "machine" is at its core unchanged from 1776, just with a bunch of shit slapped on and duct-taped to it. It's like a Sega Mega Drive with a Mega CD, Mega CD Karaoke, 32X, and Sonic & Knuckles with Sonic 3 attached while China and Cuba are like DIY PCs with brand new components (running Arch btw). The Mega Drive monstrosity is limited by the core system and unable to progress beyond weird add-ons that don't do very much. Those add-ons are extremely costly in terms of wasted time and effort but the libs feel really good when they make a new one. No matter how many modifications are made to the Mega Drive, it's still functionally limited to the status quo but with discs and other weird cartridges that only with with the 32X.

    Meanwhile, China is building 1x10^3578 km of high speed rail and Cuba makes it legal to disown your parents if they don't support your gender identity.
