As someone living in California, I can verify that corruption and incompetence isn’t limited to one party or the other. It’s very present in both. That’s why I endorse neither.

 

US politics is dominated by these two parties for over 150 years which means you have a problem. Bernie Sanders is old as the hills and you can't bet on him doing anything in politics at this stage :p Besides, California us heavily pro-Democrat anyway so I find it difficult how people from that state can say a bad word about Democrats like that. The Hollywood propaganda does it's job very well too. Republicans are the only evil in US politics and Fox News should be banned, that's the only mainstream message I get for number of years now :coffee:

I'd rather ask why is a Canadian interested in US politics so much? ;) You're part of the Commonwealth rather than USA after all.

You say this like Trump didn’t order bombings though, and he did.

I have to agree with this point. Biden's attack is a potential escalating movement for Middle East and it's not a wise decision for negotiation of Iran's nuclear deal. But China would like to see USA sticked with the infinite wars in Middle East once again.

Yeah, but they all hit the intended target.

Or they just stopped considering whether there were civilian casualties. 
Don't get me wrong. Obama was in no way perfect and neither will Biden be, but it's just stupidity using a single strike to start making Biden more dangerous than Trump.

    • Not in modern times (believe it has happened back in the 19th century). The Social Democrats were rather close in the mid-30s, but generally it's been the Social Democrats as the largest getting challenged by either Venstre (the old, liberal party) or the Conservatives (though their latest peak was in the 80s). Keep in mind that most Danish governments have been minority governments. The latest government (well, it's still the government until the new one is formed) was the first one since the early 90s and only the 5th since the Second World War.
