If the Democrats want to stay in power they really must dump Biden. Unfortunately, it is the political custom that if the incumbent President wants to get re-elected he doesn't get challenged from his own party. There has never been a need to break that tradition more than now. Biden belongs to some white house which is a nursing home. Not the White House.

People need to realise that there is a difference in the sense that if you follow the media you could be fooled to believe that all this woke and trans-stuff is something completely mainstream but if you actually go out to the real world you very rarely encounter these people. It is a very marginal group of people bigged up by the media.

Do many Canadians think that it is a small country since they always compare the size of the population to the southern neighbour? Of course Canada is not a small country. It has the second largest land-mass in the world and a country of 40 million people is not a small country populationwise either. Perhaps a middle-sized country but not small.

I don't live in Canada so I'll take your word for what you have said since I don't know better. However, despite all what you have just said there will never be more emigration out of Canada than immigration into Canada.

The cost of living-crisis is really going on everywhere in the western world. Even though we like to critisize governments for such things it is really out of their control in a free-market economy. Unless, of course, if Trump was in charge. Then all of it would be his fault entirely.

Too bad that things seem not so good for you these days but Canada is a country alongside with countries such as the USA, the UK and Australia where things will never get so bad that there would be more emigration than immigration.

There have been clips on YouTube lately about how Canada has all of a sudden turned into a worse country than it used to be and even immigrants are leaving. The reasons given have been the cost of living and hostile climate. The climate has always been the same, hasn't it, and the cost of living tends to be high in places which are popular destinations for people to move into.

You don't understand; demographics are against the Republicans. Black people always vote Democrat 90-10, Hispanics always vote Democrat 70-30. Only white people's vote goes back and forth. However, the share of the white people of the population is going down all the time. Perhaps it's planned or perhaps not but it is happening. In the future white people would have to vote for the Republicans like 70-30 in order to have any chance of winning any election at the federal level. Very unlikely to happen. There will still be some states which the Republicans can win but the whole country will soon be a factual one-party state, which is always a bad thing.

Nikki Haley’s War with China
-TSS- replied to Rebound's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
Nikky Haley, first of all, she is Indian and her real name is Nimrata. Secondly, she should run for the President of Israel. She clearly loves that country more than the country the presidency of which she is running for. -
I wonder is there any other example in the world of a former host country and a colony whereby the roles have been so reversed as to who gives the orders and who obeys as is the case with the USA and the UK.

The Republicans can no longer win the popular vote. They can still win the electoral college though but as soon as Texas flips blue it is game over forever for the Republicans.

Senate moves to protect US from Trump
-TSS- replied to godzilla's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
Where has Trump got this new popularity from? After all half of the voters fiercely hate him when as a lot of those who supported him in 2016 were disappointed with him as President. He talked the talk but didn't walk the walk. With him the old adage seems apt; fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. -
Too bad for the Republicans that they have over the decades become labelled as the party of the WASPs. (nothing to do with the insects nor the band). It didn't harm them when WASPs were over 80% of the population but nowadays it is easier said than done to try to appeal to segments of population which were previously considered almost as being enemies.

Does it actually make any difference in Canada whether Trump gets back in or not? In Europe it may make a huge difference as Trump is known for his views that European NATO-countries should increase their defence-budgets instead of just relying on the US-help. Even though on other issues I don't agree with Trump but on this one I do. In Finland we have a very competent army for a country of our size. If Russia decided to try its luck on attacking a western European country Finland wouldn't be their choice. Many other European countries who don't have nasty neighbours have driven down their armies completely.

It's funny how Biden said yesterday that if Trump wasn't running Biden himself probably wouldn't seek re-election but since Trump is there Biden must also run. As if it is Biden who can stop Trump when as in reality the main reason for Trump's newfound popularity is Biden himself. Almost any other democrat would be better equipped to beat Trump than Biden is.

Reichwingers fantasy Kinship with the Jewish People
-TSS- replied to NYLefty's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
The majority of Democrat-voters are on the side of Palestine, which is a real problem for American Jews who are traditionally more pro-Democrats. About 3/4 of Republicans are pro-Israel. Usually not licking Israel's arse has been a major obstacle for any American politician's career ambitions but that may change. -
There are such differences in the German dialects that northeners and southeners might struggle to understand each other. The south used to be catholic and the north used to be protestant. Nowadays nobody cares about religion.

Is there anybody who believes that both 2016 and 2020 were allright? Apparently not. Some people believe that Russians somehow meddled in the 2016 elections and installed Trump as president while others believe that the 2020 elections were rigged. If you believe that Russians somehow got their hand in the 2016 elections then why didn't they do it again in 2020? If you believe that the 2020 elections were rigged what makes you believe that the 2024 elections are going to be honest?

There's a lot of doubt if Biden can complete the current term which lasts until Jan 2025. The idea of him seeking re-election and lasting all the way until Jan 2029 is just not believable. He really must go and give way to someone younger. But who could that be? Just about anyone else than the current VP.

Would the US become considerably poorer if the dollar lost its position as the world reserve currency? That is the aim of the BRICS which expands all the time.

US-politics is mostly about competing who loves Israel the most. No difference between the two parties on that issue.
