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.
It’s her turn
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.
Why the fuck is a mod so active in the comments trying to enter into arguments with people?
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.

I’ve never been happier that JetBlue only flies Airbus/Embraer jets.
The Post Office is not a political body
In the democratic West, if you interrupt your leader you are locked up and imprisoned.
Protesting your primary legislative body? Illegal.
Congress shall make no law […] abridging the freedom […] to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Protesting your primary legislative body? Illegal.
Freedom of speech and the right to protest are when you get arrested for shouting at the person responsible for the death of your son.
Genocide going well
US news media? Lie about America’s geopolitical rivals? Say it ain’t so…
Casual racism? From a same place that casually obliterated the languages of the indigenous people of the island in favour of Mandarin? Say it isn’t so…
There’s a gap between what’s good for a country and what Western countries claim is good for a country. I don’t think OP was making a claim either way, just that there’s clearly a gap and Germany is a hypocrite.
Weren’t people literally arrested for supporting Palestine? At least in the Soviet Union speech was protected consistent to a particular ideology. What ideology is it that supports Palestinian genocide other than imperialism?
Not going to lie I was skeptical of Chinese fiscal policy recently… But turns out there’s a reason that I’m not a Chinese economicist.
