    Even if they could, they wouldn’t get the resources as cheaply as theyre getting them now. Also China has recall elections, if Xi went mad and unilaterally decided to go to war with a country so important to Chinas economy, he’d be booted so fast.

    Except thats not how anyone who might vote dem works. There is no mythical moderate who won’t vote for free healthcare, but will vote for subsidies for employer-based health insurance purchased through 1 of 50 market places where you have no idea what it will cost each month, what it will cover, what portion of the healthcare cost it will cover, or what the top line bill will be for literally any procedure.

    The DNC and state parties are filled with consultant children of millionaires who have supported Republicans and destroyed state parties to stop the left from taking over. The biggest use of the dem party at this point is like peaceful protests; radicalizing libs who think theyre effective means to achieve positive social change

    They have proven that they can be forced to do the right thing when they have no alternative. They got rid of Biden when even their most optimistic polls showed him losing, and Harris’s popularity didn’t crater fast enough when she started to embrace the policies that killed the Biden campaign for them to get back on course.

    It goes back further, Clinton cut welfare and passed draconian, racist anti-drug laws accepting Reagan’s “welfare queens” and “crack babies predisposed to crime” canard the same way Obama built the cages to punish illegal criminal migrants and made healthcare about “skin in the game”, meaning poor paying for health insurance and Harris ran on the most lethal military in history and stopping the migrant invasion.

    The only strategy that could have worked was to get the dems to run an electable platform. Telling critics to shut up and vote helps them maintain the delusion the can win with the right messaging or moving further to the right. Nothing I could possibly say to a random potential voter will be as effective as “the dems ar e the reason you have free healthcare”, “the Republicans will restart the genocide in Palestine”, or “remember that time Biden’s AG threw Trump and a dozen republican congressmen in prison for treason?”

    France was forcing Niger to give up its resources for a fraction of market value while keeping them from developing industry. Buy their product at a fair market value, or even better: follow China’s mutual development strategy and provide funds and experts to build a refinery.

    China doesnt mine much uranium, but they do fabricated fuel pellets with ore from Kazakhstan.

    I did not make genocide unpopular, the only way the dems could have won was if they did everything in their power to fight Republicans and improve people’s material conditions and promised even more after the election. The only thing I could do was try to stop them from deluding themselves that they could win with dogshit policy and 4 years of telling their constituents to eat shit while working with Republicans.

    It is satire of dem logic since Bill Clinton.

    Not even kidding, they call it median voter theory, and genuinely believe the best way to win an election is by 1. Promote the furthest right republican candidate. 2. Triangulate the dem candidate’s positions to be 1 iota to the left of the republican.

    This is how they justify compromised, means-tested policies instead of universal policies; the ones that provide immediate material improvements to people’s lives are too far left, the ineffective policies that help nobody are more in line with what republican would want the dems to pass.

    When this fails, they can only conclude that their policy was too far left.
