I detect curious amounts of resentment towards men in the comments. :chin: — Tzeentch
There’s no surprise as to why they would be. There was no reason to vote FOR her, and the motivation to vote AGAINST Trump, though still the correct move, wasn’t good enough. — Mikie
I disagree that Trump has moderated alot of his positions. In fact he seems to be moving to the extremes on issues like immigration (where he wants mass deportations) — Mr Bee
and trade (where he wants to impose a global tariff on all goods) — Mr Bee
The only area where he's moderated is on abortion and social security but apart from that he's a standard Republican and governed like one in his first term. — Mr Bee
The Democrat platform isn't the problem since it remains popular (while Trump's ironically enough isn't) but Democrats aren't able to sell it as well as Trump is able to sell himself which goes back to the main problem I see for Democrats. — Mr Bee
Losing to Trump twice after barely eeking out a win in 2020 when they ran their "safe" candidate should be a clear sign that what they're doing isn't working. — Mr Bee
If they move any further to the left, they would just be centrist or maybe center-right. They would not be left in any European country. — Manuel
As for Israel, you better be thankful the US donor class "supports" it, because it has no friends left and is a pariah state, for good reason. — Manuel
It's a complex subject. The way it is currently structured is based on a system which basically gives German banks the power to control the value of the Euro based on German elite financial needs.
In an ironic twist, the European Central Bank is worse than the Fed. The only mandate the ECB has is to control inflation. At least the Fed attempts to keep unemployment low as one of its mandates, in addition to controlling inflation.
So yes, it is an Oligarchy - as everywhere else, but it has a very strange dynamic to it. — Manuel
It's understood that Trump will back an Israeli attack on Iran. — frank
I've been reading about it and find myself confused. Even proponents of the EU claim there's a lack of accountability. — frank
He will back a lot of Netanyahu's reckless actions for the next four years. — javi2541997
