There was a compromise back in 2020 in order to get Bernie to drop from the race, hence we got a rejuvenated labor board and some labor wins. But we didn't get there without applying pressure, which is why the uncommitted movement is so important.

Appeals to fiction are a fallacy. Not let me explain why X group is bad based on an extremely contrived hypothetical.

They're probably looking at Ukraine manufacturing cheaper weapons and getting FOMO. But instead of actually learning how Ukraine is innovating these guys are just " let's do the same things but cheaper". Truly innovation that only an MBA can think of.

Guy robbed banks with non-lethal force, definitely less harm than peddling drugs

Tbf, having a beer with RFK sounds like an exciting time. Would never vote for him though

Yeah, better off pitching her as the person you want to be protesting against.

They attacked cat ladies, grandmas, the swifties, and now gamers. Are they going to attack the Palestinians and the undecided movement (some more) just to be sure?

In this context the Australian people voted for an administration that would no longer "co-operate" with the USA's geopolitical aims, they "bucked"/rejected the agenda. The USA responded by pressing those in power to create a constitutional crisis and replace the administration.

I guess my point is that America doesn't engage in the same tactics as China does in regards to Taiwan, or that hemisphere, probably because of distance. The USA favors regime change over making a new colony.

That would be dumb. Taiwan is a better asset if they have an independent government that's on the same page geopolitically. Australia bucked the USA's geopolitical agenda, and they got couped.
