If the election of a single person can spell the end of your “democracy,” how democratic really was it in the first place?

Once when I was debating student debt forgiveness, the person I was debating with (not my opponent) literally said that the US shouldn’t forgive student debt because it’s unfair to the white majority.

I do High School debate in the United States. Never in my life have I met more rabid neoliberal imperialists in my life. I need to cleanse my mind.

China invests in many African and Latin American countries and many (ultras and liberals, typically) label this investment as imperialism. I’m no expert in the intricacies of the situation, but I find that China’s investment isn’t nearly as destructive or exploitative as western investment.

Chappell roan is the fuckin best. I love her music and I like that she’s got a pretty reasonable take on voting. Bill Maher is a grown-ass man who needs to stop being an edgelord.
