    Everything good you have-especially as a US citizen- is the result of violence and nothing else.

    If you’re talking about overthrowing tyrants to become a free nation, then yeah /agree violence is most likely needed.

    But the whole point of America and its political system is to resolve conflict in non-violet ways, so definately think your’e wrong there. Violence begets violence and destroys your land/homes.

        How does any vote get passed in Congress today? Congress has votes and passes laws all the time without violence.

            Seriously, how can you possibly live through the last couple of years of Roe and associated laws and decide there is no violence??!

            Our definition of ‘violence’ differs.

        Also, for the record, our system is absolutely not set up to resolve conflicts in nonviolent ways.

        You need to justify that statement with real-country examples, because unless your definition of “violence” is different than it is for the rest of us, your comment is easily proven false.
