I would even expand that: America is committing suicide by voting Republican.
My state has open primaries and I voted for Haley. Not because I support her but because giving her a boost in the primaries will be a good foil for Trump.
And, if in the small chance she gets the nom, she might actually be easier to beat than Trump. Not holding my breath on that one though.
Republicans are perpetrating a murder-suicide on America.
A vote for a repub is more dead Ukrainian soldiers and it pisses me off to no end. Reagan is rolling in his grave how his party is now the russian puppet party.
Well, with all the crimes he committed against the American economy, I would not put Reagan on a high pedestal, but yes, at least he had the balls to counter the Russians.
You could say his economic crimes put us on the inevitable path to where the political system is today. Decrease in labor power vs capital, allowing capital accumulation and concentration into few hands, inevitably flowing into the political system to maintain that status quo. And here we are.
O no, fuck Reagan, but he at least knew the russians where not to be in bed with.
I'm sure he'd do a 180 if he saw those nice Russian cheques.
I doubt it, dude was making bank off the cold war, why would he go suck some russian cock for some worthless ruble's.
I disagree.
Well. Then it is high time you wake up and have a look at how Republicans have massacred the US at least since Nixon.
