This is a very good suggestion. The internet discourse gets further and further from reality in a lot of areas. Engaging in the actual reality of the voting system is an excellent 'touch grass' opportunity for people passionate ab

Yeah the party spent weeks arguing with him to put the country before his desire to be a two term president. Something Trump is far too egotistical to do. But this is entirely beside the point, because the Democrat politicians are held to a

Indeed, plenty of countries engage in a bit of strategic development. Plenty of countries aren't belligerent communists though. Communism brings the state direction of industry to another level and with Xi as the new leader for life
