Setting up the US Embassy in Jerusalem was the most Jewish-friendly act by any sitting President since Israel was created. There's just no way the Democrats can ridicule that or else they're losing millions of Jewish voters in the US and they're officially screwed.

The left-wingers have gotten so liberal & progressive they forgot about their roots - the hard working blue collars who are by no means liberal. Jeremy Corbyn got a huge reality check on that and even Labour knows they've become an urban liberal party which is not what any left-wing party is coming from. Trump won because the conservative rust belt voted for him instead of the left-wing Democrats. Hilary Clinton represented the urban elite which used to be the most obvious enemy of any left-wing movement dating back to 19th century. Yeah, you're gonna win the age 30 liberal progressive voters BUT that's not enough to overcome the age 45+ blue collars who show more discipline when it comes to voting. Those old guys gonna cost you every single election, that's why Sanders and Cortez-Ocasio are equally as doomed as Corbyn was in the UK. If you're gonna worry more about the Russian hackers and the impeachment you're gonna lose even more touch with those left-wing roots. Hollywood and 25 year olds from urban areas will not win you the elections over Trump.

It's a huge problem for the left-wingers Trump is the most Jewish-friendly president USA has ever had. You'd love to throw him under the racism bus however you can't because the Jewish people would grill you. And let's face it, getting the Jewish votes in USA is way more important than Muslims votes.

State politics is small thing even in California. If you make in into Congress or a genuine government job in Washington it's the true elephant success. When did the Whigs fold? Like before the Civil War? You're looking at 150+ years or two party system and these are lifelong political animals running the show. You can write "US State Senator" as a job, it's not a frickin' service anymore. Add the political families running wild on both sides of the fence and you get the complete picture. Besides every in-state thing can be overturned by the magical Supreme Court which is nominated by the President so everything stays in the two-party system. I'm sorry but choosing your state representative between two members of the same party screams communist "choice" all over the place. So much for your beloved democracy. The popular vote is a fraud. Didn't like California ban the same-sex marriage in some popular vote few years back but then Supreme Court overturned that? So five judges can send your popular vote down the gutter at any given time

I'm not really sad that the US democracy doesn't work. The electoral college is a laughing stock but hey, it's not like Democrats didn't have their chance to wipe it away during all those years? Right now nobody cares about three electoral votes from Montana or whatever Then again, it prevents the two-party system from allowing a third party involved so actually both Dems and GOP know it works into their favor in the big picture. If people are fed up with one party, they can only vote the other into power and vice versa. They're all too smart to let that get away. UK voting system is equally flawed but at least some Lib Dems, Greens or national parties can make their way into the Commons. It's impossible to have a third party member win even a single seat in Congress.

I thought about Star Wars characters tbh but I didn't watch that franchise anyway and I have no idea what Guardians of the Galaxy are either

Speaking of Wisconsin, how about this? https://edition.cnn.com/2019/12/13/politics/wisconsin-judge-remove-voter-rolls/index.html So much for a wonderful democracy when a quarter of million people are denied their voting rights. I bet the Democrats must love this judge now

I have no idea what are you talking about. Then again, Americans don't follow handball much so that figures

Because USA annexed those islands and of course you're not gonna allow them to join the independent Samoa

Well, USA has the law of the land so anyone born in Guam is an US citizen I suppose Aruba, Curacao and the Dutch Antilles follow the same pattern (can't be sure about Surinam these days).

No surprise. Do people born in Aruba have a Dutch citizenship?

Guess Groot retiring made Netherlands more unpredictable?

Seems like Mikaela Shiffrin punted on the parallel nonsense this season?

I don't hang around ideallistic teenagers anymore so it's curious talking to you (and correcting your mistakes ) but trust me, when you get older you'll realize it's not worth the damn to fight every battle available I'm not that old by any means but I'm happy that my knee doesn't hurt like crazy when I get up in the morning (which used to be the case a while back). People my age I know have had back surgeries already so it could be way worse too

This thread should be renamed "Olympian1010 changes the world and why everyone else is wrong"

Nope but unless the world revokes the Gregorian calendar and starts measuring time with a different method you have no case to argue as someone living in a country which follows this very calendar It's the same thing like measuring a minute by 60 seconds. Do you want to give us a dissenting opinion on that one too?

Decade is 10 years. Century is 100 years. You're doing maths that is completely unneccessary and you're still not changing the Gregorian calendar on TO forum

I suspect Iceland winning an Olympic medal in handball was a bigger achievement. Obviously football (soccer) is the most popular sport in most of Europe so that gets the bonus points.

But we (as we - the humans) made the calendar timeline set at BC/AD. You're counting geological years which are of no use for modern time measurement. You can't measure the exact date (day & month) of the Big Bang which technically started the Earth timeline

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nielsen_(surname) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark–Norway Duh! Obviously ethnic Norwegians lived in the modern day Denmark and vice versa for centuries. Nelsen must be the Anglicized version of the name which is mainly Danish these days. It's really simple to explain.

Excluding Year 0 is not a mistake. 0 is literally zero so nothing. No wonder Year 0 never existed

Go back to 16th century and file a complaint

Back on topic bitches! I was never a Man Utd fan so this one was awesome! (watched it live on TV of course).

In Gregorian calendar it doesn't happen which is a fact

We're talking facts not theories. Facts are not debatable
