IIUC, that’s a mostly consensual activity.

I don’t think a lot of Syrians were allowed into Canada as much as Germany and Sweden (at least proportionately in the latter case).

as it was under Stalin.

She continued: “And I said to him: ‘Listen. I’m not a flat-earther. I’m not a round-earther.’ Actually, what I am is, I am somebody who has left the cult of science. I have left the megachurch of science because what I have now realized is that science—what it is actually, if you think about it—is a pagan faith.”

interesting points about Israel, though.

They certainly seem less concerned about it, but they seem to oppose the Gazan genocide better than Biden or Trump.

Americans have no choice but the 2-party state: it is futile to even try to change things.

from a forum I used to be on:

According to the Supreme Court who ruled that presidents can do whatever they want and be immune if it’s technically official business, Biden can just blow up Mar-a-lago now and be done with it. No need to waste taxpayer money with elections and all that malarkey.

Do both.

Before the debate, I wasn’t sure who’d win: Biden or Trump.

Even Allen Lichtman was unsure.

After the debate, I figure Biden will lose.

I’m not saying it’s an absolute certainty—we have 4 months and many things could happen. If someone offered to bet me their $500 that Trump will win to my $100 on Biden winning, I’d take it.

If Biden is replaced, I think he’d be more likely to lose.

If he was elected, Biden needn’t serve all 4 years: he could resign a few months later, make Harris President, and AOC, Sanders, Newsom, whatever, as VP.

As I think Biden will lose, one might want to vote their hearts.

Keep in mind, it might be dependent on states.

If 2.5 million Californians who voted for Biden instead voted for RJK Jr, Stein, and West in 2024, Biden (or his replacement) would still probably win all 55 Electoral College votes of that state.

If the 5 million Texans who voted for Biden, also, instead voted RJK Jr, Stein, and West in 2024, Biden would lose no more Electoral College votes.

How likely is Biden, or his possible replacement, to be elected?

Every President in US history has been a man and all but 1 was white.

I don’t think it means fuck-all. IIUC to win the necessary Electoral College votes, one has to win at least 37% of the popular vote in a 2-way (or mostly 2-way) race.

Some might want to play ball with West, Stein, or JFK Jr.

There’s also the 100% tariff on EVs that he supports.

What are his views on the 100% EV tariff, high speed rails, and homelessness?

How good is it at delegating tasks?

Trump is (or was) a billionaire, a TV celebrity, who shat on his GOP rivals during the 2016 primaries and was content enough to threaten to run as an independent and allow Clinton to win if he wasn’t nominated. That he regarded politicians from both parties with contempt was part of the attraction.

If Canada can’t elect a female PM or have a Liberal (or NDP) female PM, what makes you think that the US will elect a woman as President?

While a lot would like her more leftist positions—she might have to reiterate that the US should stop funding Israel and that what’s happening in Gaza is a genocide, and her view on a 100% tariff on EVs—the GOP and party centrists would have a field day.

But yeah, it might be a good thing.

Harris can cover.

And there’s plenty of people younger than 78.

Which one’s can beat Trump in the election?
