       Finally I get to do a uspol CW that is does not contain the T-word. That's an clear win!That being said, the US of A are only back to square one - that it, to having a sane person in the White House. If you follow me you know I was  suggesting voting for #Biden. That was *only* because four more years of the other option was a truly catastrophic prospect.This is not to say Biden is a *good* choice. He is the establishment choice.Now is the time to start pushing Dems hard left.

       @rysiek AFAIK neither of us live in the US, is it our business to tell USians how they should run their country?

       @wolf480pl well, they keep telling everyone else how to run theirs.And more importantly, they keep *influencing* everybody else's politics, even if it's just by tapping out on fixing global heating while being a crucial .So yeah. I think it's fair game.

       @rysiek I'd rather treat them the way I want to be treated. But I guess they could learn something if given a taste of their own medicine.

       @wolf480pl if I got too drunk and started making an arse of myself at a party, I want my friends to firmly push back and escort me off the premises so that I don't embarrass myself completely or burn any bridges, if you get my drift.

       @rysiek ok, but once you're sober again, you want them to let go, right?

       @wolf480pl unless I am particularly badly hung-over and need assistance.Look, this metaphor is going too far. You get what I'm saying: there are good reasons to have a conversation with USAians about USA, even if one is not from the USA themselves.

       @rysiek "my way is better than yours because it's mine" is not a conversation."glad you took the  first step now take 99 more in the same direction" is not a conversation.If you don't allow the possibility that you may be wrong, it's not a conversation.

       @wolf480plMy rule of thumb is: if a country has nukes, everyone on planet earth should get to vote in their elections.
