The options were delay, renegotiate with zero leverage after trump, or stay in Afghanistan. Biden delayed and the effects of trumps damage to the state dept reared its head.
Definitely will be. He’s tanking his approval ratings and handing a win to Trump on a silver platter just to kill that many more children, and denouncing any who disagree with him.
It very much is. The campus protests and the crackdown on them are common in both, and Hamas and the Palestinian resistance also mirror the Viet Cong in both their tactics — using tunnels, taking hostages, guerilla warfare — and their goal of driving out the occupation and reuniting their country.
That seems like a logic to absolve the United States of its crimes across history in the world. After all we didn’t Slaughter hundreds of people and overthrow democratically elected governments. That was just all the fascist we trained and armed and financed and acted largely at our behest. See?
The problem with that is that Israel will be annihilated by the surrounding Muslim countries that are bothered by its existence. What should happen is that United Nations countries should embargo Israel, just as they’ve done to Russia.
I know it won’t happen, but it’d be wild if the Republican party looked at Biden, said, “we could win this if we didn’t field trump” and nominated someone else as their candidate; while the Democrats said, “people aren’t going to vote for trump, but they may not vote for Biden either, which could cost us the election” and fielded someone other than Biden. The result being that neither Biden nor Trump end up on the ballot.
Again, it’s highly unlikely to occur (though we are living in “Strange Times”), and we’re almost guaranteed to see Biden vs Trump, but it’d be interesting to see how that’d shake things up.
Yeah, but, and I may be mistaken, but primaries are up to the parties. That means they don’t have to adhere to the primary outcomes or even hold primaries to begin with. Biden could get 100% of the primary vote, but if they think he’s going to lose to trump, then they could still swap him out with someone else.
in many states it’s illegal for a party to violate or inappropriately change their own primary rules (e.g. they must follow strict procedures and can be accountable if they don’t follow them), which, is usually a good thing right?
When they first had the nominations more or less locked in I posited to my partner that being as confrontational as they both are they really might give each other heart attacks on the debate stage by getting into a fight
Generic candidates always win. They have no flaws. No hang ups. No annoying habits. No awkward gafs. No history, no voting records. You can’t even call him generic candidates. Because who people are voting for in that poll are more accurately they’re idealized candidate. And by that I mean each individual person’s idealized candidate. So of course they always win. When they put a name down the numbers change.
If we get Trump in again, I wouldn't put money down betting on us getting another Democratic president ever. Which is why I'm really hoping he listens to the criticism and gets his shit together. And if he gets his shit together, I'm hoping people are willing to allow themselves to be won over. If we just stay mad cause he didn't do something sooner/enough, we are also fucked.
There are too many potential paths in which we are fucked for my comfort.
Biden already said he’s a Zionist. Shut up and let him run the train over USA. He thinks he’s retaining favour with Israel and Zionist media lobby, but he is running the whole bulldozer on USA, which is a good thing for rest of the world.
