The collectivist knows nothing is the result of their actions or their decisions.  If they are poor it is because they are the target of the selfish and greedy capitalist.  If they are not accepted into the school of their choice, their choice of jobs, or do not make the team, it is because of some form of discrimination or racism.  If their poor or false reporting is exposed, it is because of white privilege.  The only reason things are not the way they believe they should be is they are a targeted victim of society, somebody, or something. 
 
The rule of the collectivist has been that society, capitalism, discrimination, or something is the result of the problems of people and therefore they must be given things deserved or not.  The individualist has always believed that individuals make decisions and the consequences of those decisions is their responsibility, good or bad.  The individualist says show me the challenge so I can use my gifts and talents to overcome the challenges.  The collectivist says I should not have to face any challenges but be given from the hard work and labor of others because I deserve it.  As Marx phrased it, “from each according to their abilities to each according to their needs.”
 
Now the infamous self-proclaimed collectivist (Marxist, communist, socialist, progressive, Democrat – all virtually the same) Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has entered week two of her crybaby meltdown over disastrous poll numbers and so she’s blaming somebody else, namely Fox News and Breitbart News for her unpopularity.
 
Quinnipiac is one of the most unreliable left-wing pollsters out there, so when the Q-poll has bad news for America’s Socialist “It Girl,” it is worth taking notice.  Quinnipiac found AOC national favor ability rating sits at a pathetic 23 percent; her unfavorable is 36 percent, which means she is upside down by double digits — 13 whole points.
 
But here is sweetest part of the song … only 47 percent of Democrats — Democrats, y’all — view AOC favorably. Seven percent view her unfavorably and 44 percent have no idea who she is.  Among Independents, the self-proclaimed socialist is upside-down 16 points — 20 to 36 percent.  AOC is even upside down with women, 27 to 30 percent.
 
Faced with this news, the collectivist played the victim game. After posting a link to her terrible, awful, very bad polling news, she tweeted, “It’s almost as though there is a directed + concerted far-right propaganda machine with a whole cable news channel, and a dark-money internet operation propped up by the Mercers et al dedicated to maligning me & stoking nat’l division.”

Of course, it has nothing to do with her actions because she has no responsibility for her decisions and actions.  She is the victim.  Marx, Lenin, Mao, Castro, Obama, Holder, Jarret, and all other collectivists are extremely proud of her reaction.  Why, remember, even Hillary blamed the “far right-wing conspiracy” for Bill’s wondering eye, hands, and other body parts. Bill was the victim, not the ladies he abused, raped, and whatever else he did.  Always the victim, aren’t they?

I saw this on Red State and initially thought it was another proposal from the Marxist/Progressive (Democrat) party.  This is not so farfetched, especially since they want to have open borders with full rights to all illegal aliens including the right to vote, along with their desire to allow any child they do not abort or murder to be allowed to vote as well.
 
French Writer Calls for Other Countries to Have the Right to Vote in US Elections
 
One election after the next, we have seen how much the results of the US presidential vote impact not just the 50 states, but the rest of the planet too. And if the future of foreign countries is shaped to a significant extent by what goes on, on US Election Day, shouldn’t they get a say in who gets to lead the most powerful nation in the world for the next four years?  In other words: shouldn’t foreign countries have a right to vote in the US presidential election?
 
Perhaps it helps to imagine America as the pot in which tomorrow’s ideas are brewed, for better or worse. Perhaps it helps, too, to look at the more tangible signs of how US politics contribute to shaping all of our lives. The most convincing example may be global warming, and Donald Trump’s overt skepticism when it comes to climate change. In January this year, the president of the world’s most powerful nation infamously tweeted: “In the beautiful Midwest, windchill temperatures are reaching minus 60 degrees, the coldest ever recorded. In coming days, expected to get even colder. People can’t last outside even for minutes. What the hell is going on with Global Warming? Please come back fast, we need you!”  It goes without saying that whatever the US does or does not do to limit the effects of global warming impacts every single being, human or otherwise, on this planet.
 
Except things are more complicated, and more nuanced than that. Take, for example, the idea that living in a country is a condition to having the right to vote there. Permanent residents such as myself, also known as green card holders (also known as people who aren’t US citizens but live and work in the US full-time) pay the same income tax as US citizens, but don’t get to vote. Naturally, US citizens (like citizens of many other countries) still get to vote for their president even if they permanently move to a different country. All this to say: there is an established disequilibrium between who gets to vote in the US presidential election and who arguably has the most skin in the game.
 
I have clearly disclosed my status as a French citizen, so I know the question will be raised: how would I react if someone proposed to let other countries vote in the French presidential election? Well, France is currently about five spots behind the US in the ranking of the world’s most powerful nations, and its GDP is more than seven times lower. But sure, should France ever have the kind of political and cultural influence the US currently yields, then I’d be inclined to let others have a say. In fact, I might even vote in favor of it.
