Yes seems like betting on the lowest denominator regarding Trump is the safer bet.
It will still be interesting to see how he reacts to mostly every country in the world being against him on this?

It's sad how these mental infants think they can negotiate anything about Ukraine, when there is nobody present with a mandate to do so.
Lavrov is as bad as they come, and he can go fuck himself. Nothing he says has any value.
It's not even interesting what they agree on, because it's completely irrelevant. The only thing interesting is how Trump reacts when he realizes the free world combined will absolutely distance themselves from it.
Russia is of course playing along, because they can create discord that way. USA has a fascist leader, that prefer to talk to other fascist leaders, and not the traditional democratic allies of USA.

Trump is crashing USA as world leader for the 2nd time. But this time is worse, and he has done it right from the start of his presidency. Paving the way for a much quicker new world order where China dominates.

Without the support of all the allies, USA is not nearly as powerful as Trump may think they are.

I never said that during campaigns, there's a difference between saying it now, when there's no election, and saying it during election.
During election I pointed out the benefits of voting democrat.
You apparently can't distinguish between reflection and campaign.
Your message is simply the wrong message at the wrong time.

That's a straw man argument, I never claimed any such thing. Not giving a shit, doesn't mean you are not responsible.
Your logic is flawed and all over the place.

Your standard of fairness is skewed, possibly because of a lifetime of privilege, or maybe you think you are only temporarily inconvenienced?
Fairness was completely thrown out the window, when Republicans chose Trump as their presidential candidate 3 times!

put all blame on the party

Imagine how bad they see the democrats to be, when the democratic voters simply failed to show up!
If they think Democrats are no better than republicans, they kind of have a point. Harris had nice ideas about helping people buy a house, but how the fuck does that help the homeless or others that are REALLY struggling, way beyond the ability to buy a house?
If you can buy a house with a little help, you are not struggling to survive. Democrats are not there for the poor. There is very little idealism left in American politics, it's been squashed by 2 majority parties that monopolize politics.

That's not a fault of the poor, or the leftists that want real improvements, maybe like the Scandinavian model. AOC has explained this again and again, but democrats still pander to the right, because they are more in favor of wall street than helping the poor.

Some of those people voted for Trump, in part because they are stupid, but also in part to bring the pain to others too.
That's what you get with a dysfunctional democracy, and PLEASE tell me again how that isn't also a problem with the democrats???

You were dismissive of “disillusioned leftists”

How do you figure that? When what I criticize is the lack of political action and ambition by the democrats when facing Trump.
As an example Pelosy was a menace for blocking actions against Trump, at his last presidency, there's a long list of lack of doing anything, even when it's desperately needed!!
This is not on the left, they have been screaming that more needs to be done, that the democratic party lacks ambition. How the fuck is it their fault?

The problem is that democracy in USA is dysfunctional, and Democrats are absolutely part of that problem.
That has nothing to do with saying they are the same, because obviously democrats were the lesser evil, and obviously everybody should have turned up to vote. But the reason they didn't, was that democrats didn't give them a good enough reason to do so, backing an 80 year old relic for most of the campaign.

I actually tried to get people to see why it was important to vote Biden instead of Trump, but people simply didn't care.

So what do YOU think should have been done differently, because Biden would have lost even worse than Harris. How is it not the fault of democrats that they didn't manage to get their presidential candidate elected over an evil sociopathic liar like Trump?

And how is it wrong to reflect over it, and point it out?

without making a point to say that people are right to vote against them

I didn't do that, I'd NEVER claim anyone is right to vote for Trump. It's only that the democrats failed to create any enthusiasm at all, and they've had decades to try to improve democracy in USA, and has done nothing.
Democrats have been happy with the status quo for decades, so they don't inspire enthusiasm.

Also I'll criticize democrats as much as I want. The best thing about them is that they are not sociopaths like the republicans, but that's a fucking low bar, and still they failed!!!

It shall be interesting to see how he reacts.

No kidding Bernie is 83 years old now. It's like saying Jimmy Carter would have lost!
The problem is that Democrats doesn't push new younger candidates, with new ideas, they don't even have to be that new, as long as they aren't decidedly obsolete.
But the main problem remains that a 2 party system is merely one party better than China.
Many Americans seem to not grasp the truth in that.

If you are US citizen, you must still pay taxes to USA when you work and live in another country.
IDK if there are other things, but that's pretty major for some people.

I'd guess renouncing your US citizenship.
