AOC and Sanders are legit. I agree with you on establishment democrats though.

America has been on that path for sometime. It’s voting public has been unstable (in terms of lacking the efficacy to choose a stable and reliable government) for nearly a decade now.

Another example would be Trump saying that US farmers now have unprecedented access to the UK market for sales but the US uses growth hormone which is banned in the UK and Europe. It’s very unlikely they’re going to designate a non growth hormone section of their farm just to ship beef overseas.

Which would only be financially sound if for some reason there is significant demand for American beef in the UK which… Why would there be?

His memecoin alone will make him billions off of the presidency.

Regardless of whether anyone thinks he’s intelligent or competent, I think most would agree that he is a conman. I’ve honestly never seen 70+ million people fall for a con so easily. It speaks volumes to America’s education and media landscape.

Services for sure. The US has a massive surplus with the rest of the world on services which intentionally doesn’t get brought up because it doesn’t fit the narrative.

Hopefully the world will move away from that though.

I’m going to guess drugs or alcohol.

He wants bilateral open markets ie some form of neoliberal apocalypse. For some reason he thinks this benefits the US, as if the world is tripping over itself to buy over priced mid quality American products.

The tariffs are simply a means to that end. From their perspective it’s either no or equal tariffs both ways.

There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. Galatians 3:28

Christians need to step up their game and actually follow the teachings of Christ.

They should cut to the chase and call Jesus a Marxist.

Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. Luke 12:33

Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” Mark 10:21

“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

“Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink?  When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you?  When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ Matthew 25:34-40

The consequences of leaving the car window open for a buff and shine.

US media needs to start saying fascism when it sees fascism.

The American public has been so propogandized into thinking the US is inherently antifascist (as a holdover from WW2) that even their educated can’t recognize it happening in front of them.

Oh lookie here at all this ultranationalism, militarism, authoritarianism, language around purity / sanctity of our nation and scapegoating of minorities / immigrants. I wonder what we should call this absolutely unprecedented stew of bullshit that’s meant to put people through a meatgrinder that concentrates power and enriches the elite?

She overstayed a prior visa. They will go after white people with any red flags.

I would advise non American white people to stay away though. The current American administration wants to crush your economies and doesn’t give a shit about you. How could you justify spending your money there now?

For all people outside the US please take a close look at your subscriptions. Amazon, Netflix, Uber, YouTube, HBO etc. That is all money being funelled into the US. Please also think about where you spend your attention. Looking at Instagram everyday pumps ad revenue into Meta. America has a massive trade surplus with the world when it comes to services. A deliberate effort to unsubscribe from these services would send message.

I’m not saying cut yourself off from the world… But weigh your options.

He is the embodiment of mommy issues.

Its JD Vance actually.

I mean he called Trump transformational which I think anyone with a brain will understand but his supporters will see as a compliment.

There was some very carefully constructed language being used here which I think is a good first step.

It should also be noted that Carney said ‘Never’ five times when Trump said Never say Never but I don’t think Carney was visible on the American broadcast.

I’m happy with expelling Albertans for being secessionists but Canada is keeping the oil.

To put it simply, the prosperity of Europeans and their descendants was paid for through the bloodshed of colonial exploitation. This created an inherently inequal world order.

The world has become more equal post WW2 and the descendants of the greatest beneficiaries of that exploitation are now displeased that they don’t hold the same advantages their ancestors did. That’s why we have to go back. That’s why we have to make _____ great again.

Most PoC can hear these dogwhistles (if you can even call them that) from a mile away.

Doubt it would play out that way in the US. They’re much more likely to take military action when the world cuts them out since making weapons is what made them rich and you can’t keep making weapons without using or selling them.

Understaffing is a major issue. Recently having an E. Coli outbreak from their food doesn’t help either.

It used to be that the food was at least fast and hot. Now there are times where you’ll wait 20 minutes, it will be cold and might make you sick.

Add to that the price going up while the food is either the same or worse since the 90s.

In short, they’ve gotten greedy and they assumed it wouldn’t affect demand which is not how economics work but it’s how the worst of capitalists want it to work.

Wasn’t Harris their only option since Biden took so long to drop out?

She was the only one that could legally access campaign funds since there was no time for a primary.

It was either going to be him or her and both options were far from ideal.
