John Cena or Stephen A Smith need to run next time on the Dem ticket. Unfortunately im being dead serious.

Been watching some reactions on US newschannels like ABC, MSBC and CNN. They are all talking about that Harris' campaign is not to blame. That it was great! Not surprisingly, because there are a $1 Billion reasons not too.

They sure don't want to piss of the DMC or have them thinking "mmmm, perhaps we should not have sunk a huge part of that campaign money in ads on traditional media channels. Let's do that different next time".

So instead they blame, who would have guessed, the Voter.

Identity group-A did not show up, Identity group-B dissapointed, Identity group-C are cultist, Identity group-D what where they thinking?!

As a previous poster on this treat pointed out, Liberal policies seem to be more popular. If so, it must be a messaging issue, a.k.a. Campaign issue. But you'll never hear these pundits say that.

I'll extend an olive branch: I totally get it, something's gone wrong. But I can't help but be frustrated when people on the right in this very thread make shitty posts like the one a couple above. That's totally dismissive and derisive but for some reason it's only the left who has to watch their rhetoric. The right has figured out how to make the shitty rhetoric a feature rather than a bug and it is wholly frustrating. People of positions of power on the right made jokes about the attack on Paul Pelosi while the democratic party in its entirety gets blamed if someone random on facebook does the same for Trump's assassination attempts. 

Here's a simple example. see if any republican on TV ever calls it the democratic party, no instead they call it the democrat party as a little insult every time. Or mispronounces people's names or says "Barack Houssein Obama". Is there anything like that from the left that is from positions of power rather than just random left internet users?

Right now, I'm nervously watching the Arizona results. Gallego is still ahead, but that race is too close for comfort and going to be razor-thin, like many of Arizona's other elections. They're not expecting a final outcome anytime soon, either, because counting in Arizona is very slow. Maricopa County, the largest county, has a two-page ballot which is further slowing down things. And even if she loses, Kari Lake will still screech about election fraud until 2026 when she will no doubt try again to go after the governorship.

Trump isn't evil if you want to use a moral alignment kind of compass.  He is just more so amoral.  His ethics fit what suits him much more than most people.  And he seems to have done many shady things in recently.  So to hell with Trump.  I hope he burns.  

He has also been very lax wrt Russia and its aggression towards Ukraine.  Ryuu can explain it much better but he's also praised Putin and mocked zelensky.  I think that he's got some kind of agreement with Russia even though it will never be proven.  If Trump is going to officially be an isolationist towards Russia, whether he has agreements or not, the real question is what will happen with China in his final term.  Will China invade Taiwan?  This would be the ideal time.  They have a president who doesn't want to meddle with foreign affairs, much less against communist ones.  All trump cares about is the border.   

The problem is that Taiwan produces 90% of the world's semiconductors.  You can do the math and realize that they could start charging out of the ass if they have that monopoly over the rest of the world, and fvcking over everybody.   

This is very worrisome to me.  

Someone who took the test and misinterpreted the answer is what I think is the most likely scenario which happened here.

You've plucked 20 years out of your ass, you don't even know when these people passed their test or did what you said wasn't possible.

So the evidence I provided was...

1. UK drivers themselves who have also passed the test, some of which also did the thing which you claimed wasn't possible. If this was 1 UK driver then you could argue "well it's my word against his" but it was multiple UK drivers which puts you at a numbers disadvantage.

2. UK citizens I asked, including my own father.

3. UK based websites.

4. The British Government.

Your only rebuttal was to not actually provide any hard evidence but to say "You're wrong because you've not taken the test and I'm right because I'm taken the test" and that was when I (actually quite respectfully, pointed out the source of the UK Government countering what you was claiming) which you then threw a tantrum and got defensive, only after you disregarded the damn British Government did I then start getting sources from other UK Drivers, Reddit Threads, UK Companies, etc.

Btw, do I sense a hint of age-related insults to add to your condescension? First calling me immature and now childish, Lol. I feel we're two steps away from you saying "I'm 40 and you're 28 shut up you don't know anything about the world" But this is off-topic. If you can find the thread then maybe we can go through it all again in PM or some shit

Either they don't cause he's too unpredictable or they attempt it cause he'll show he won't interviene. Idk anymore but I'm almost positive China is going to attempy to take Taiwan no matter who's in office, tbh, they have promised as much and does it really matter when they do it at that point. Probably better for them to try sooner before they have expanded their military capability and naval capability, I'd feel safer now that ten years down the line where they're more efficient militarily. Just me though, another war in another region with new players is adding more to a hot ww3. It's difficult to quantify the right time or under the right leadership of each side for something like that cause there is too many factors at play. 

And I say attempt because someone on this site eased my fears, they said Taiwan is not just an Island in the middle of the South China Sea, it is a very capable island in the middle of the SCS well prepared to handle an invasion, trained and drilled for the event even from a China with a well outfitted Naval capability down the road and they only continue to up their preparedness. It's not a take it or not siutationam and after someone mentioned that, Ryuu I think, and I looked into it my fears went out the window cause it very likely isn't going to work out in China's favour, if they do get onto the Island and manage to hold part of it, it'll be very much the same deal as Ukraine and all the US or it's neighbours like Japan, Austrialia and the philipines etc would have to do is back it in the same way and avoid direct intervention. Also, I just want to add how unlikely it is that they'd get onto the island, It's doubtful the Americans would even be able to do it with their full might and would end up having to bomb the ever living shit out of the island first. 

Alas, I think Trump caught up to speed on the importance of Taiwan would make the correct call. He'll probably even set up infrastructure in the US to get out of this dead lock and look for rare earth materials elsewhere knowing what's at stake. And let's not forget he hates China.  

I'm not wrong.  Don't know what to tell you.  Tell me, did your dad take the test more recently than 20 years?  Yeah, didn't think so. 

Not sure why I'm even wasting the time.  I'm 100% sure I'm a right.  Just like I was throughout this entire thread.
