Maybe because the point was already made rather clearly in this thread.

That's exactly what he argued for countries that he considered to have strong democratic institutions such as the UK and the Netherlands.

I think Marx was basically a Democrat as the whole idea was to gain political power through democratic means (or other means in non-democratic countri...

:chin:

Counterrevolution deaths are attributable to Marx too because he started it! :lol:

I remember them but I was in high school when it was Bush Sr. Not at an age to care. I was under the impression the first Iraqi war was great, which, ...

Not really. They could've installed a slug or Hillary last time and you'd pretty much would be in the same place as you are now. Or do you think those...

The only ignorance on display is the American centric view. Regardless of the party in power the likelihood of laws being passed that has a near 100% ...

Maybe spend less time on fora discussing issues with 28 billion bots.

Start your own special forum then. Nobody's argued free speech or fascism. Boring straw men.

Most fourth graders are more interesting than this discussion. We already ban low quality, which is enough. For the rest, the whole idea of a forum, i...

More elitism is totally what this world needs.

Only an American will insist on there being a meaningful difference. You don't understand what it is to have an actual democracy.

Degenerate ratfuck sounds about right though. No need to defend Biden here. As long as I've been aware of US politics - since Bill Clinton - the US ha...

I'm sorry to hear you experience disassociation so often that you think other people have problems with it too.

They all think they are moral ubermensch capable of lifting themselves up by their bootstrap regardless of whatever circumstances they find themselves...

Funny how people always think that people they agree with are good posters.

Your cat trying not to be down under...?

I'm not saying I have a different opinion from you, I'm saying you have a stupid metric.

Your metric, as an American, is that two other countries signed a peace treaty formalising how their relation has been for years? Maybe you should get...

The unraveling of America is apparent in the fact y'all cannot stay on subject. Jesus.

But is she as phony as Trump? Less likely to vote for Biden means no votes or a vote for Trump?

It's official, the US is a banana republic.

If someone in the Democratic party predicted that and chose Harris because of that, it would be pretty bloody smart.

After reading your summary I think she's a bad pick. I was partial to Tammy Duckworth.

Maybe you're overestimating the ability of white people to adjust to a society in which black people are actively included in decision making processe...

Cynically interpreted, does this mean that her being black is all the progessiveness the old Democrats can manage?

Democratic governors and mayors I think.

How is it trimming far if it isn't funded by taxpayer money?

I haven't reviewed all 1792 cases. Have you? I find plenty of problems with the few things Trump had done in this field. Even so, even if Obama was wo...

Wrong. He wasn't right. He was protected by Republicans in Congress.

Numbers are meaningless. It's about who and why. Obama mostly pardoned people who were convicted of drug crimes, already did substantial time and were...

Nice cherry picking. I do mention three issues. Let's start with his multitude of lies and work our way up from there. Cronyism and contempt for the l...

He's grasping at straws because that story is old (2018), which, for instance, that "fake media rag" the wapo reported on. Leave it to NOS to elevate ...

Iemand praat hier bananen recht...

No more Othering, more Mothering.

Debatable. :razz: Other than that as a parent with two kids; I rely heavily on extended family (1 day a week 1 kid, 1 day a week 2 kids 1/2 day), chil...

This thread is total bullshit at the moment. Read the title and whine about or celebrate Trump.

No reason for self loathing really.

No sense of humour. Check. Obviously a girl then. So you're one of those happily oppressed types that want men to take the lead and can't handle the m...

No no, this is one of those manly men whose manliness is threatened by gays and trans people.

Oh goody, I'm just dying to figure out why you'd vote for a racist. Oh wait, no, don't care.

@"Banno" It's not confidence in moral fibre but confidence in insufficient support for Trump among servicemen.

Sigh. That it rained yesterday isn't proof it will rain today. What circumstances particular to today do you think will lead to the military shooting ...

You really need to show more than a picture to make an argument. That something happened in the past isn't proof for it happening again now or it even...

Of course it is. There's no way US military will fight against US citizens. Trump isn't popular worthy the military.

The law refers to "employees" of the Department of Homeland Security or transferred from other departments. That excludes contractors doing this. It a...
