    George Bush literally did the same thing. They’re the same. The US shouldn’t have jurisdiction over the Hawaiian Islands in the first place, they should be under control of the Sovereign Nation of Hawaii.

          Yes, why? Did you have to look it up? Or is the concept of democracy offensive to you?

            because your comment was a complete non-sequitor. fuck Joe Biden.

            What is democratic about a military takeover of a sovereign nation for the capitalist benefit of a few pineapple farmers, and then declaring the ocean around your military base/tourist destination to be “protected” while doing nothing meaningful to prevent the climate change that is threatening that same ocean?

            Dumbass.

              Ah, so what you meant was “I don’t like this event that happened in the past, but America should have jurisdiction over Hawaii at this point in time.”

              Thanks for clarifying for me. :)

                The occupation of Hawaii is ongoing… what you meant was “I have no understanding of politics and just want Joe Biden to win so I can pretend things are fine and sit back and enjoy my relative comforts”

                  Oh, in which case a democratic plebscite would clear matters up, like I initially suggested. We’ll have it run by the UN, have plenty of third-party observers. What do you think the vote totals will be?
