Meanwhile in Japan

The difference between the left and the right is that many Republican voters will vote for a candidate based on a single issue, while many Democrat voters will not vote for a candidate based on a single issue.

I’m genuinely not sure if there is a set of policies the left can offer which will adequately appeal to their entire base. I think the best case is another 2008 Obama who didn’t actually campaign on much hard policy other than just idealistic “hope”, which meant that a lot of voters could see what they wanted in him.

Meanwhile Republicans will continue to destroy the country while throwing out scraps like marginally lower taxes (but much lower for the rich).

Seriously, if third parties actually cared then they would contest local elections and try to gain senate/house seats which could force democrats and republicans to work with them to pass legislation.

But when third parties only show up once every four years in the single biggest election it shows that either they’re trying to play spoiler or just doing a quick cash grab.

Everyone loves to bag on boomers, but they’re actually more left leaning than they’re given credit for (more so now after Covid killed a lot of antivax seniors). Gen X is the MAGA stronghold.

Is there any past comment or behavior that would suggest Trump wouldn’t run for a third term, if given the chance?

Well he definitely said that in 2020, and if someone had had the foresight to ask him in 2016 he probably would have said it then as well, so I’m going to go ahead and be a little skeptical here.

Tbf those rich people were simultaneously waging literal war (like with guns and everything) against their workers.

Sounds good. Btw can you name a single Republican who supports Palestine? I can only seem to find Democrats. Just want to know when you help the Republicans win :)

This guy only posts articles calling out democrats, and does not mention republicans at all. So it’s definitely not implied that he supports one over the other. Especially when this specific line is the most popular wedge issue for conservative-aligned interests, despite once again democrats being substantially more progressive on this issue.

And whataboutism? The GOP is one of two parties in a two party system, with the other being democrats. So yes it’s natural that if you mention one party’s stance you would then also mention the other.

Also just lol at immediately responding with name calling. Btw can you name a single Republican that’s advocated for Palestine? Because I see a lot of Ds, but not a single R.

Just curious why your entire account is countless articles criticizing democrats for their Palestine stance while applying absolutely no scrutiny to republicans, despite republicans being infinitely more hardline pro-Israel?

The US Green Party is just a useful puppet for Russia. Unfortunately that’s the reality of a FPTP voting system. If people don’t like it then they can try to organize grass roots changes in order to bring about longterm systemic change. But sadly too many voters just wake up once every four years, see that there isn’t a single candidate that perfectly aligns with their world view, and then just spite vote or spite abstain.

It’s like the ultimate form of taking democracy for granted; democracy isn’t just voting in one election every four years. There’s loads of local elections, primaries, and campaigning in between that have equal or even more impact on people’s daily lives, and which influence the candidates that appear on the presidential ballot.

He was also loosely the inspiration for the titular character in Inside Llewelyn Davis iirc

Credit rating doesn’t translate across countries. Even the US and Canada don’t share credit rating info (source: I’m a US citizen living in Canada and my credit history in Canada started from nothing), so the US and China definitely won’t. And banks are absolutely not giving favorable rates to students yet alone international students.

In fact if anything because international students get the worst tuition rates and few to no scholarships, then if OP’s story was real they would have spent minimum $20k a year just in tuition over four years, not even counting room and board. So if they did try to abscond with a more realistic credit card debt of like $10k they’d still be way underwater.

The only way this would maybe work is if they had a full ride scholarship, but only top schools like Stanford/Harvard give substantial scholarships to international students and at that point the student would be throwing away 4 years of a top top education for a relatively trivial amount of money, keeping in mind that again they’re never getting six figures in credit.

This is definitely not real. There’s no way an international student got $140k in credit with no collateral. A tenth of that MAYBE but at that point there’s plenty of Americans doing the same thing anyways.

Whenever someone pulls out the “dEmOcRaTs WeRe ThE cOnFeDeRaTeS” argument, you know they’re either dumb as fuck or arguing entirely in bad faith. Like bro the parties switched in the 1960s it’s just names at this point.

Classic rock is redundant at this point tbh
