people who are birds

I don't even know what to say about this.

Look, the birds don't let us vote in their elections, and we don't let them vote in the human elections. I think it's fair.

They don't have a choice but to let us vote in their politics. If we want to rezone their bird housing to put up a condo for humans, we outvote them, pretty much every time.

Doesn't stop them from shitting on our property, to which I'm sure you'll respond "give up your property", right, Don Quixote?

And our heads! Sure, sure, "wear a hat," but then the hat gets it :( :( Frigging birds and their shunning of modern sanitation.

There is no voting when bird and human societies attempt to cohabit. The birds rule. I know this from long-standing personal experience. I am their willing slave.
