The klingon empire isn't a democracy, we don't delude ourselves that simply swapping one single person would have made a difference.


The same fact is true in a democracy. A democracy specifically is set up so just a single person doesn't rule. That's called a dictatorship.

But you turn a democracy into a dictatorship through tribalism. So forgive me if I get mad at you trying to place me into a nice well defined box. You're helping erode the democracy I (and so many others) desperately want to maintain (and improve).

What would Worf do?

I'm certain he wouldn't have done what you did


Sorry that you're being blamed. People have a pretty negative sentiment towards Americans in general right now because we have been watching helplessly in horror as our best friend tears things down.

I have friends in blue states who didn't vote because it wouldn't have changed the outcome given the electoral college - it's unfair to blame them for not participating as they were never able to in the first place.

Not that democrats are angels. You guys are damned if you're blue / (extra) damned if you're red - given the state of both options.

I appreciate that you're doing what you can


Consider that USA's government logic is: "if we don't like a government we will kill civilians until they rebel and put a government we like". See Cuba for example.

So, by their own metric, they aren't helpless at all and should appreciate other countries aren't as savage as they are with civilians, instead of complaining.


Look Worf, I'm just one human. You don't know me. You don't know what I'm doing or not doing. But I know you're making our situation worse and I know you're not living up to the ethics of your namesake
