  • Biden’s debate performance sets off alarm bells for Democrats

    Jump

  • All Biden had to do was be unmemorable and he was guaranteed a second term. His ambitious foreign policy decisions (to put it lightly) and his lack of ability to pass meaningful change despite holding both chambers of Congress in his first 2 years doomed him.

  • Obama has absolutely absurd charisma. He's the Democrat version of Trump - knows exactly what to say to his base and knows how to convince moderates he's not insane.

    Clinton and Biden have the charisma of a limp noodle. Sanders has absurd charisma, but he's seen as too big of a threat to Democrat lobbyists and big corporations.

    Sanders would've mopped the floor with Trump because he would've actually been able to grab the 18-44 demographic (which last saw peaks in 1992 Clinton/Gore and 2008 Obama/Biden, both to unseat a Republican and, coincidentally, a Bush).

    Sanders would have been able to avoid the collapse in turnout from working-class Black people in 2016.

    Sanders would've stopped the increasing right-wing radicalization of the youth of America, or provided a counterweight for left-wing economic radicalization.

    The US federal elections are basically a pony show and the DNC doesn't know how to play the game without throwing out their playbook.

  • lmao imagine thinking that the Chinese government gives a shit what you say on social media that can't be accessed in China

    it's pretty simply just control yourself on Chinese social media as if you are in public. that's the only principle of the thing

  • Ukraine's Kharkov counteroffensive fizzled. Ukraine's counteroffensive from last year has lost almost all territorial gains (and then some). In what world does Ukraine stand a chance of reclaiming their lost territories?

  • In setback to Turkey’s Erdogan, opposition makes huge gains in local election

    Jump

  • Seems like Erdogan is finally releasing his iron grip on the country since he does not plan to run for reelection. Turkey has had a uniquely independent geopolitical position that gives it immense negotiating power with both the West and the Global South. It'll be interesting to see if they can continue that balance in the future.
