All Biden had to do was be unmemorable and he was guaranteed a second term. His ambitious foreign policy decisions (to put it lightly) and his lack of ability to pass meaningful change despite holding both chambers of Congress in his first 2 years doomed him.
It’s her turn
Obama has absolutely absurd charisma. He’s the Democrat version of Trump - knows exactly what to say to his base and knows how to convince moderates he’s not insane.
Clinton and Biden have the charisma of a limp noodle. Sanders has absurd charisma, but he’s seen as too big of a threat to Democrat lobbyists and big corporations.
Sanders would’ve mopped the floor with Trump because he would’ve actually been able to grab the 18-44 demographic (which last saw peaks in 1992 Clinton/Gore and 2008 Obama/Biden, both to unseat a Republican and, coincidentally, a Bush).
Sanders would have been able to avoid the collapse in turnout from working-class Black people in 2016.
Sanders would’ve stopped the increasing right-wing radicalization of the youth of America, or provided a counterweight for left-wing economic radicalization.
The US federal elections are basically a pony show and the DNC doesn’t know how to play the game without throwing out their playbook.
lmao imagine thinking that the Chinese government gives a shit what you say on social media that can’t be accessed in China
it’s pretty simply just control yourself on Chinese social media as if you are in public. that’s the only principle of the thing
Why the fuck is a mod so active in the comments trying to enter into arguments with people?
If anything, this is a post critical of the US lmao
You’re projecting
Does make you ask the question what other Western talking points are China are psyopped propaganda, though…
It’s interesting to see Reuters of all places admit to it, though.
Ukraine’s Kharkov counteroffensive fizzled. Ukraine’s counteroffensive from last year has lost almost all territorial gains (and then some). In what world does Ukraine stand a chance of reclaiming their lost territories?
Do you think revolutions go from 0 to 100 in a day?
As a Canadian, the fact that it took until the 90s to close the last residential school gives me little faith that the US will make tangible moves to end slavery in this century.
Biden’s had no more regard for the intended role of the executive branch than Trump, he’s just less openly antagonistic about it. Trump openly derides the system, while Biden just quietly whips it into line.
This is from the same President that slurred “womenofamerica” at a rally, so I guess it’s understandable he would confuse being responsible for being responsible.
The US wanted to strike Iranian targets without retaliation in order to not lose face globally. Tehran says no. If I were serving on a US military base in the Middle East, I’d be looking for ways to take leave because things are about to get hot.
An absolute failure of the IFF system of US AD.
I mean I too would not be happy about a two-state solution with a “state” that’s releasing snuff films of my people.
Nobody wants to enter into a hot war with the US. Without Western support, Israel would be in a pickle right now.
Hezbollah Hits IDF Airbase in Northern Israel for Second Time in Two Weeks
Iran’s IRGC says 5 members killed in Israeli attack on Syria’s Damascus
Jordan accuses Israel of deliberately targeting its Gaza field hospital
Israel has comprehensively pissed off all of its neighbours. It knows it can get away with it too, because daddy US will always be there to support them.
Israel is more closely aligned with the US than Palestine. It’s nothing personal.
Given that ships are reporting ties to China to avoid getting targeted and state-owned COSCO has stopped serving Israel in exchange for Red Sea transit, I’m not really sure what pressure the US hopes to apply here.
China doesn’t care about the Houthis because they’re not interrupting Chinese trade.
Not going to lie I was skeptical of Chinese fiscal policy recently… But turns out there’s a reason that I’m not a Chinese economicist.
