Anti-Imperialism is when we ignore the will of the people living on a land for 300 years to grant the clear and righteous doctrine of "Ummmm the land is closer to me okay?"
it really is remarkable how guys like him who profess to be internationalists anti imperialists etc clearly have never listened to socialists in any other countries except for guys with varoufakis level crackhead ideas about the world
The irony being it's Britain's first war in over 1000 years where they were the natives facing an attempted conqueror.
These arguments always fall flat because the people of those islands very furiously wish to remain British.
@sunraysunray You're wrong. The Malvinas are a people's cause. It backfired on the dictatorship and imperialism; it created a national consciousness in the people that the oligarchy (Milei is an example) still wants to extinguish to this day. Malvinas is the way to people liberation.
@RandomFriendo@souljagoyteller That's apples and oranges. Gibraltar was occupied land prior to the British takeover.
The Falklands never had a permanent long term settlement prior to the British. Similar to Gibraltar the people there have maintained their desire to remain British! Their opinions matter!
His only chance at reelection is to run as an independent.
If he switches to the GOP he probably loses the primary, and we have sore loser laws so he cannot run if he loses the Dem primary (he's going to get nuked).
There is no world where Rubio can satisfy Trump & win back the voters he needs to win in 2028.
Literally the only chance at Rubio winning is for him to win the primary and for Trump to exit stage left prior to November.
If he has to bear hug a Prez w/25% approvals he loses.
Ryanโs golden oyster boy crashing and burning has led him to post some of the most unhinged shit Iโve seen from him in a while.
Nancy isnโt right wing buddy! Log off!
When voters think of โleftโ today they think of Pelosi in kente cloth, not the economic stuff. The economic stuff is just common sense. Thatโs why the party establishment is right wing on economics but seen as too left wing by normal people.
CDCโs FoodNet is no longer tracking the following foodborne pathogens:
Campylobacter
Cyclospora
Listeria (often the culprit in raw milk-related outbreaks, which are becoming more common)
Shigella
Vibrio
Yersinia
@Superninfreak@ImNotOwned Frankly if Biden runs and Bernie gets behind Joe he probably beats Hillary. His ability to pull Black voters in probably dooms the primary coalition she built against Sanders.
@Astropal5@DarinWilliamSc1@Labourcrat My guess is unless his health fails he's going to try to.
If he serves one more term he'll break the Byrd record.
@SargonAlmighty@admcrlsn Carnahan did have the seat. He won it posthumously.
It's similar to what happened in Louisiana Julia Letlow, whom very well could be their next Senator.
It's an antiquated practice but it sort of makes sense especially if it's for a caretaker role.
1) They won't run for it so you aren't playing favorites
2) They know their relative/spouse so they'll act in a similar manner
3) No one is going to object because it's due to death
We should be furious every time we are reminded of this Joe Biden and that Barack Obama convinced him not to run in 2016.
He dog walks Trump in that election.
