Pathetic. She’s throating Putin’s dick so hard that she can’t even speak to her own government when asked in good faith.

Many more babies will suffer collateral damage.

That’s the problem here. Population health affects everyone, so you can’t just say “fuck you trump supporters”, because everyone suffers for it.

Voting third party is fine. Protest voting is acceptable, though this result still fucking sucks. Strategic voting doesn’t have to be the default choice.

Anybody that did NOT vote, thinking it would be any sort of protest, is completely idiotic. Self imposed disenfranchisement only forfeits your own ability to say anything about the results.

I absolutely can blame them for global insecurity, the way Russia made grain prices rise by invading Ukraine.

Americans also have the most significant impact on climate change because they’re the biggest polluters.

Yea this is a question of damage control. My wife is worried about them attempting to remove abortion access in lock step, and now she isn’t wrong to be afraid. Populism is toxic.

Also, all of the disinformation campaigns that worked to destabilize the US were vindicated by this election result, so you can expect similar interference in the Canadian election next year.

That just means they’re racist too. All he needed to do was paint immigrants and refugees as boogeyman so even minorities look down on them. Anything goes, as long as leopards don’t eat my face!

I do agree with you. China smartly used emerging green technology as part of its push for an economic sphere of influence, and has largely succeeded. Although Westerners generally hate the CCP’s guts, this is one of those rare times that their interests align with humanity’s overall.

Still, China won’t be in a hurry to completely phase out coal anytime soon, and now nobody in America can say anything about it (then again, West Virginia is still addicted to coal anyway… )

If the world wants to shift towards extremism, why stop it? Give the people what they want.

The easy answer is, money. Lots of it. With the deregulation of financial crimes (let’s see how badly the IRS gets gutted now), it doesn’t matter where the money comes from. But it will be necessary to invest heavily in the next midterm and presidential election to ensure JD Vance doesn’t automatically win.

The internet archive is based in the US. Until they relocate to a safe alternative, it doesn’t matter how much money they receive.

Not gonna lie, this battle will be uphill against entrenched industries like big oil, crypto, big tobacco, the military industrial complex, and billionaires like Elon Musk.

But you can’t roll over and let these assholes ravage the country. Conscientious objection to dubious orders happened during the Vietnam War, and it can happen again if Trump goes rogue.

No, siege is when you are suffering from a famine because a government that hasn’t received a vote in 15 years picked a fight with a heavily armed neighbor, and said neighbor collectively punishes all of your people for their mistakes (which is a war crime, btw).

Exactly. This makes the entire thing a joke.

The court will decide acts are official when convenient (read: supports their guy).

The Federalist Society needs to be outlawed as a terrorist organization.

You can’t draw an imaginary line between American policy and your home country. It affects everyone when more natural disasters happen or food prices rise due to global insecurity.

People who think freedom of speech also means freedom from consequences.

Bigots being criticized is proof the system is working.

What a goddamn joke. The foxes are fully in charge of the hen house.

Time to see if Americans truly believe in conscientious objections or not.

Privilege for you to type that. For others, like Ukrainians, the consequences are much worse.

A lack of accountability has been a recurring theme here. The orange man will take no accountability for attempting an insurrection, or for the hatred he encourages. Voters will not take accountability for electing a fascist.

I hate how this picture is accurate. American inaction on climate change fucks everyone over. There’s almost no chance of convincing China and India to reduce emissions if the richest country in the world can’t be bothered to lift a finger.

But hey, maybe this will incentivize Elon to double his efforts on colonizing Mars for the super rich!

Correct. The time was in July but that guy missed.
