You could add many of the anachronistic flag waving people that you mentioned before to that list. Croatian flag likely related to Ustase Nazi collaboraters. And South Vietnam basically being a fascist state propped up by USA/France

Trickle-down basically isn't even debated in US politics, Trump ran a decidedly less "trickle-down" campaign that proposed protectionism. But still not nearly enough to be a departure from the norm, cause the default is trickle-down Edit: Seems especially late to talk about it in the 2020...

Looks like somebody finally invested in Eastern Poland

Having lived in both countries, I think the US somehow has the more functional government tbh, even these days

Given how conservative Hispanic immigrants tend to be as well as the continuing clampdown on immigration, there's no assurance that will be enough to create a "blue tide" In fact, some Texas are more likely to blame liberal white Californians moving here turning the state blue. Also since...

One thing I dont think people consider is that there is unlikely to be a big showing by the Libertarian candidate... and I'm willing to bet a lot more of those will be voting R than D this time around

So if California is a historic bastion of the Republican party and Bernie won by a lot there, does that mean he actually has great crossover appeal?

Looking at California's general election history, the longest streak of Republican victories was 6 straight...2 of which were Reagan (home state advantage). Are you gonna tell me the state that birthed the gay rights movement and Hollywood has the same political sensibilities as the state whose...

While Beto is popular among liberal establishment, the reality in Texas is a lot different... Blue Texas in the near future is really just a pipe dream, even if a majority of the population were more likely to vote Dem, the Republican Party of the state simply holds so much institutional...

The consistent principle here is that a weaker EU is good for Russia's geopolitical goals.

Whose two campaigns would those be?

I actually did not meant to refer to her in that sentence. It was more directed at other marginal candidates *cough*Beto*cough* as well as even some of the moderators/audience if we include these weird "town hall" or whatever events

While the idea that Tulsi has connections to Russia is just plain silly, I feel like her campaign amounts to little more than agitprop. Outside of this forum, the only people I've heard speak highly of her are right-wingers who are voting for Trump anyway. What exactly is her policy besides "not...

HK is part of China now? Be careful, that's commie talk :mischief::mischief: You're absolutely right about apathy being the new way, especially in the West. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_protests_in_the_United_States_by_size shows that the top 3 all have happened since Trump, do you...

I think it's pretty telling that the study stops at 2006...how many protests since then have been successful? Look at Hong Kong, more than a quarter of the population joined the protests at some point but the police force has subdued them for months with no confirmed deaths. The author uses a...
