Instead, they should just throw their superior horses at invading Russian tanks again, right?

I think some of these folks are jaded that Bernie didn’t win the presidency. And that is completely understandable, it’s a shame that our country, and the dems for that matter, are not that left leaning.

But what I think they fail to remember is that Bernie was elected as a Senator from Vermont. Kucinich, Omar, AOC have been voted in multiple times as representatives. While the country as a whole is not so left leaning, there are pockets in this country that are. Change can start at the local level, with actual local laws that impact your actual life a whole lot more than the small, but significant handful of things at the federal level.

But notice that these folks are all democrats. If you want the AOCs and Omars of the world to have more power, then the best way to do that is to vote their party in as well.

There’s a Russian expat YouTuber I found yesterday. He mentioned this very thing. In Russia, all police are federal and thus serve the state, in the US the police are local (yes, we do have some federal enforcers, but they are dwarfed by local police). It blew the guy’s mind that we actually have local police that have to respond to citizens and politicians at the local level. Conversely, it blew my mind that this isn’t necessarily the status quo.

All that is to say, the people on here that are saying “Biden do something!” May not understand that our president is not, and at least for the moment, cannot, be dictator in chief. And I for one am thankful for it.

I’m going to answer this honestly, because on the internet I can’t tell if you’re being funny or curious. Kanye referred to Jesus as Yeezy. Once he became so grandiose in the music industry, and his mental disorder started to take over, he started calling himself Yeezy. So Yeezy should be pronounced like Jesus, I suppose.

In any case, the man has a God complex.

And this article confirms what we all already knew - he likes fish sticks.

Not everything is meant to be funny.

So much like a zoo monkey, you exist for the fascination of others, and the occasional casting of feces their way? I see. I'll continue to view you from the cage you've made for yourself then, while keeping some distance.

Wow, you sure got me there with your sick memes and short blasts. You can see the ills of the world cowering by the appearance of your civil discourse.

Never said communism is bad, friend, just that it's not a good idea to be consumed by any ideological framework - that's how you become a zealot or worse, an enabler to someone who corrupts the cause.

To add, the US supports Israel because Israel is still their #1 ally in the region.

Israel is the primary foil to Iran, whose government is a belligerent to America.

It doesn’t all have to be Capitalism vs your ideology; sometimes it’s just old-fashioned geopolitics.

If you think all capitalists are nazis then your ideology has blinded you.

The whole Venezuela v Guyana thing is complicated as hell. It essentially started with the Dutch & Britain drawing Guyana’s maps wrong. Flash forward and Venezuela is all pissed that Guyana’s maps include their territory so arbitration is called in…and the arbiters are the US and UK of all nations. And of course they vote in Guyana’s favor.

So Venezuela of course is once again pissed and doesn’t accept the binding arbitration agreement. Flash forward again and now it’s been made even more complicated since oil has been found off the coast of the contested territory. Even worse, Guyana is poorly equipped to defend it.

To put it simply, it’s a shitshow.
