Incredible amount of Slovaks living abroad were flying last couple of days back home to vote in the Saturdays parliamentary elections :d

 

Also the absolute record of 86 000 !!! Slovak citizens who are currently abroad have asked to vote by post. :bowdown: Many our athletes for example already announced they will vote by mail to help the country (among the most famous Petra Vlhová, Peter Sagan or Marián Vajda Djokovic´s coach and many others !

Saturday´s elections are maybe the most important elections in all our history since the independence in 1993. Saturday will show which direction Slovakia will choose !

 

Strong ! Strong strong determination is to feel everywhere right now to finally kick out from the government the thieving gang from the ruling Smer-SD party linked to the mafia and oligarchs.  And also not to allow the fucking neo-Nazis brainwashed dickheads to get into government. :fingers:

This. This is a great example of why Bernie is the candidate the party needs and not Biden or Buttigieg.


Also, here’s a link to the full article:

It actually does a pretty good job of explaining where Sanders so popular amongst a young generation of Americans. It also offers and explanation of why my generation is more left than most American generations.

I can give you this, younger generation has no idea what sociallism really brings to the table. Sanders will raise taxes on speed dial and this won't be enough, eventually not only the millionaires will have to fund his ideas like he promises and this is where shit hits the fan.

 

Wasn't it Georg Hegel who said that one thing that people learn from history is that they never learn from history? And he inspired Marxism and Fascism come 19th/20th century? Sure, Sanders wants to "make communism great again" to paraphrase Trump's motto but is only heading into one direction. USA has never been ruled by a communist masquerading as sociallist but guess you are due this great honor ;)

 

Will Sanders cut NRA's unofficial reign? Doubtful. Will he stop the mass shootings from taking place? Probably not.

 

If Sanders somehow becomes POTUS he will serve as the prime example why sociallism won't work in USA and will scare people off for decades (that's if he doesn't conk out in office first).

 

Of course there is the subplot where Russian hackers want him to win the Dems nomination since he will be the easiest opponent for Trump's re-election. If that's the case then Sanders is a sitting duck. No way he can stop the online propaganda, fake news & hacking efforts.

You don’t know what socialism brings either...Communism isn’t Socialism. If people don’t realize how helpful and awesome government programs are, than I can’t help.

 

Yeah, I think that’s why Poland’s decided to try racism, white nationalism, and xenophobia again. Sanders isn’t a communist, but apparently you can’t read English since multiple users have said this before. 
 

No, that is something Democrats are united on. Stop, no. Cut down on the number of (by many), yes.

 

Or we’ll actually realize the best system of Socialism, and we will have actually “Made America Great Again”. I’ll admit that Sanders would be first choice to initiate that, but I’ll take what I can get.

 

I’ll take help where I can get it, that’s politics baby. They’re wrong about him being an easy opponent though. The left has some propaganda at the ready, so I wouldn’t be concerned :d

Sure, Poland has no idea what communism or sociallism is but a 20-year old American knows it better. I almost admire your naivety :coffee:

Given Olympian's love for sociallism he'd be spreading the same propaganda if he was born few decades earlier IMO :p

And I admire your lack of imagination, research, and knowledge on the subject matter.

Given you love for ignorance, I’m surprised you’re not spreading creationism or flat-Earth theories.

Poland doesn't need any imagination or research anymore. 45 years of Soviet rule gaves us - and Hungary, ex-Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Romania etc. - hard evidence on the matter. And we all decided to get rid of this wonderful system called communism :bye:

    • Is it true Mehdi Taremi could face visa issues due to him serving in the IRGC previously? Could US sanction professional footballers playing in World cup under FIFA? 
    • For the summary and lowlights of Thailand's preparation in hosting the ongoing Sea Games, I kindly suggest those who are interested to read from this English language article from Thai media outlet, Thai Enquirer: https://www.thaienquirer.com/63469/thailands-sea-games-2025-under-fire-budget-management-and-technical-controversies/
    • It's all hogwash especially in the short attention span generation. Like nobody cares about Free Tibet anymore either. Free Palestine will last a lot longer due to Saudi Arabia becoming a sponsorship force in sports.   Israel is too weak in soccer to qualify from UEFA zone. The only time they qualified was from the Asian zone and they only beat Australia & New Zealand who were complete nobodies in the 1960s. No such luck in the 60 years since.
    • Oh I assure you FIFA dodger a bullet with Israel not qualifying…   But ya that’s kind of the thing, shut up and dribble is a mantra anti LGBT people have used often. I don’t think it’s hypocritical to remind them of their position
    • Ah, yes but that's not how pro athletes are taught in North America these days? Shut up & dribble is xenophobic, racist or whatever? The hypocrisy of some of these policies were exposed during 2022 World Cup already where the Saudis played it smart and waved their own "Free Palestine' slogans. Forget LGBT rights for a moment, how many 'Free Palestine' flags will be waved in 2026? Or will those be confiscated by default? Somehow I feel this won't be met with similar backlash when China clamped down on 'Free Tibet' in 2008 OG. Saudi Arabia is more important to global markets than Iran & Egypt 
    • Wisła Płock just assumed 1st position after five consecutive draws. Must be first time ever a team on a five match winless streak actually moves up to league top.
    • Well ya, which is why the Egyptian and Iranian teams can shut up and dribble :P
    • The problem is, the World Cup is not a local event. Overall it's another storm in a teacup. LGBT rights in Muslim countries won't change a damn inch becuse of one soccer match in Seattle 
    • After looking at the entry list of athletes in the official website, I've changed some of my predictions in the Olympic events with these changes:   Total Tally: Thailand 87, Singapore 51, Vietnam 48, Indonesia 33, Philippines 24, Malaysia 22, Cambodia 1     Badminton (5): Malaysia 2, Thailand 1, Singapore 1, Indonesia 1   Men’s Singles: Switched from Thailand to Singapore     Boxing (11): Thailand 8, Philippines 2, Vietnam 1   Men: -54 kg (-55 kg): Thailand, -60 kg: Thailand, -63.5 kg (-65 kg): Thailand, -69 kg (-70 kg): Thailand, -80 kg: Philippines   Women: -50 kg (-51 kg): Thailand, -54 kg: Thailand, -57 kg: Thailand, -60 kg: Vietnam, -66 kg (-65 kg): Thailand, -70 kg: Philippines     Sailing (7): Thailand 4, Singapore 2, Malaysia 1   ICLA 6: Switched from Thailand to Malaysia     Taekwondo (8): Thailand 6, Vietnam 2   -67 kg: Switched from  Vietnam to Thailand     Weightlifting (5): Thailand 2, Philippines 1, Indonesia 1, Malaysia 1   Men: -65 kg: Malaysia, -94 kg (-95 kg): Thailand   Women: -53 kg: Thailand, -69 kg: Philippines, -77 kg: Indonesia   * I saw that they have actually change the weight categories to almost match that of IWF newly introduced categories from several months ago.      Wrestling (12): Vietnam 7, Philippines 3, Indonesia 2   Men's Freestyle: -57 kg: Philippines, -65 kg: Vietnam, -74 kg: Vietnam, -86 kg: Philippines Men's Greco-Roman: -67 kg: Indonesia, -77 kg: Vietnam, -87 kg: Indonesia, -97 kg: Vietnam Women's Freestyle: -50 kg: Vietnam, -53 kg: Vietnam, -57 kg: Vietnam, -62 kg: Philippines
