Trump's not an idiot, he just plays one on TV. He wants to distance himself from Putin now for some reason. I'm not sure why, but I'm sure there is a reason.

Really doesn't matter and you're missing the point. I agree there was obvious voter suppression. But it was probably 1% swing at most. She might have squeaked out a win if the math works out in hypotheticals... at the end of the day it doesn't matter.

Point is, she could have easily crushed Trump if she had appealed to a better narrative. She stuck with the status quo and ultimately that was about as equally appealing to voters as fascism...

Pakistan is essentially the cornerstone of Xi's Belt Road Initiative from the last decade. It's India 100%.

Tbf, it's been in decay since Reagan. Long time coming to get here. Trump was inevitable when we didn't address inequality, lowered taxes on the wealthy, and allowed Citizen's United.

Yeah, everyone underestimates climate impact and the fact that we are already past points of no return. It feeds into the cultural nihilism we have today. We're kinda doomed. People just dissociating and pointing fingers at each other. The system is designed to cater to sociopathy and no good leaders can rise to the top to navigate us around the icebergs we're headed straight towards.

Oh yeah, I guess that proves he's not racist. /s

Since when do you righties believe anything our government says? It's hilarious how a man who is proven repeatedly to be a consistent liar comes to power and you start believing him just because he preaches hate.

Genocide is when we abolish landlords. /s

Meanwhile, when you use military force to take people's homeland, it's not.
