The reason why Xi Jinping is so staunchly opposed to US interests is because the political turmoil of his childhood destroyed his youth and family life. Your plans seem to have backfired and created a monster that: doesn't like you, is intelligent, and is capable of long-term planning as a world leader & chemical engineer.

It's possible that this would have happened anyway, but the irony is palpable.

My plans? From what I'm reading, it was Maoism that fucked up his life.



Right now, only the wealthy have access to PFL in America through corporate benefits. What makes you think that PFL will primarily benefit the middle class as opposed to the poor? In my eyes, it's one of the few benefits that should be universal (akin to primary/secondary education).

Regarding influence, I think Bernie has significantly more than AOC. AOC is good at fundraising and riling up certain voters but from a legislative perspective she's a nobody. Jayapal is the one who calls the shots for progressives. Anyway, I don't think there's consensus on how people perceive Biden. A lot of Democrats believe that he caved to corporate interests. You seem to believe he's caved to progressives. Others seem to think that he has absolutely no leadership skills at all. Regarding "strong approval," I think much of it stems from the fact that many people voted for Biden simply because he isn't Trump AND because liberals act like spoiled children. If they don't get everything they want, they cry about it and stay home.

I don't think many people know about the payments to illegal aliens....you have to be pretty plugged in to even know what that is. The people riled up about it were never going to vote for Biden anyway.

Yes, however Mao was only in charge because the CIA thought an internal power struggle between him and Shek was beneficial to us. Otherwise, Cheng Kai Shek would have kept ruling and China would likely be more Democratic by now.

It's more a political problem than a financial one. The Bush/Obama crisis was orders of magnitude worse...remember when the Dow was fucking under 7k? Citigroup was trading under a dollar? We should not be concerned about poor people because they are ultimately a lost cause. Don't tell me you've been drinking the Bernie Sanders kool-aid

we know you don’t have to worry about prices you pay for goods and services but the rest of us do

of course I remember dow 7k, man what an investment opportunity that was. biden lied about inflation and we all knew it. it was a dumb thing to lie about, although the fed is more to blame here because we know biden is an economic illiterate. anything else?
