i hope you copied and pasted all that.What is my perfect crime? I break into Tiffany's at midnight. Do I go for the vault? No, I go for the chandelier. It's priceless. As I'm taking it down, a woman catches me. She tells me to stop. It's her father's business. She's Tiffany. I say no. We make love all night. In the morning, the cops come and I escape in one of their uniforms. I tell her to meet me in Mexico, but I go to Canada. I don't trust her. Besides, I like the cold. Thirty years later, I get a postcard. I have a son and he's the chief of police. This is where the story gets interesting. I tell Tiffany to meet me in Paris by the Trocadero. She's been waiting for me all these years. She's never taken another lover. I don't care. I don't show up. I go to Berlin. That's where I stashed the chandelier.

I can care less about WHO as long as CDC is up. WHO is still getting funded by people so its not going anywhere.i hope you copied and pasted all that.
Anyway, rather than try and change or fix the WHO, we're leaving.
Oh and we hate China but we're revoking Hong Kongs independent treatment which works for China.
And apparently we all misunderstood his trope of 'the looting starts, the shooting starts'.
It's only 3pm on the east coast.
Up there with "I only vote for what affects me and my family" for daftnessI can care less about WHO as long as CDC is up.
True, and if Trump really believes what he says about Chinese control, would it not be better to have a seat at the table to change things?WHO is still getting funded by people so its not going anywhere.
Your boy just railed against china then held a press conference where he rolled over and let them rub his belly.I have no clue what Hong Kong/China stuff is so I probably wont start caring.
Did you know China only has one time zone. It's the same time in Tibet as it is in Shanghai. mad eh.Its only 2 here in Central
I love Ruairi. (you left that part out of yours for me)
You may not care about the WHO nor does Trump. But do you know who does?I can care less about WHO as long as CDC is up. WHO is still getting funded by people so its not going anywhere.

Hes an idiot for saying that.
Its only 2 here in Central

I have yet to read the two pages that follow your post, so apologies if any of this has been covered by others. With that in mind...
Your representation of the criticism of Sanders is for the most part wildly inaccurate or at the very least overblown. The vast majority of the "many of you" that you mention - myself included - have stated ad infinitum that their preference 1) was not Biden and 2) in a lot of cases would be Bernie (as President) ahead of Biden. The majority of the criticism is towards a section of his support rather than him, and where there IS criticism of him, it's down to electability and his inability to build coalitions. Yes there is some criticism for him not going the Democratic Party yet running for their nomination twice, and maintaining an air of surprise that the Democratic establishment didn't line up behind him. Every single person in here believes that "helping the working class" is paramount, and in spite of your admonishments, Biden is running on the most progressive platform to have ever contested a US General election (in modern times - I won't claim to be a historical scholar or to know what was classed as liberal in the 1800's)
"Bringing attention to the system rather than playing their game" is a nice thought, but woefully naïve.
The crux of the issue is the first 10 words you typed. Trump is worse than Biden and (if you consider yourself a liberal) the GOP is worse than the Democratic Party. You spend infinitely more of your bashing/criticising the latter half of each of those pairs (often in woefully intellectually dishonest ways which give the impression that you're here for nothing than to act as a WUM), and then have the nerve to throw your daft little epithet at those who see the world as it ACTUALLY is rather than how they wish it was, and who realise that in order to change the system, you first have to win - something which Sanders has now failed to do twice, and something which Biden won't be aided in doing by inane critiques, whattaboutism and exhortations to "vote third party" - as if that is a recipe for anything other than 4 more years of Trump.
That's all well and good in Ireland but the US has a completely different (worse) voting system.You make a fair few points on the whole for where you come from. But firstly my criticism of Sanders? It wasn’t meant to be a criticism persay I do admire his loyalty to his friend but if I am to criticise I’d say he endorsed Biden to quickly and without making progressive concessions In The form of writing with the promise of executive orders in the first days isn’t much to demand imo. Maybe demand high and land somewhere. I think getting the Bernie progressives onboard would be smart and good for everyone. Right now many are disillusioned. And ain’t falling for that bs committee. Calling someone like me naive and ‘get with the real world’ condescendingly won’t help either.
There is some socialist believe that you must let capitalism get out of control and let it destroy itself. If we can’t make big progressive strides then let Trump be the alarm clock. This the ‘most progressive platform in a general’ like that actually means something all things considered.
Bought politicians will never have the people in mind. Biden can make all the progressive promises he wants with his most progressive run in a general in recent history. He is bought. I don’t believe a word. Sanders was not bought.
I think people are in their right to check out not vote or vote 3rd party. Telling someone like that to ‘get real’ does no good for them doesn’t do it for me anyway. I’d rather devote energy to an alternative and yern for revolution. As naive and pissing against the wind it seems to you.
And that goes for my country of Ireland. I can only talk at America from the outside and give my opinion. I ultimately have no say over there but it’s how I stand here and there.

Last year a Somali American cop in Minnesota was sentenced to 12 years for the death of a white woman. Her family received $20m.
The point is that one should expect the white officer who murders a black victim to receive the same treatment under law, yet all too often that's not how it works out in the USA.Whats your point here? He killed Justine Damond - a person, not white woman. You're also insinuating by calling him 'Somali American' that his heritage lessens his guilt?
yeah, forgive me for speaking for @Ruairi77, but that’s clearly not what was being insinuated.Whats your point here? He killed Justine Damond - a person, not white woman. You're also insinuating by calling him 'Somali American' that his heritage lessens his guilt?
He murdered that woman in cold blood after she called him for help. He deserves the death penalty.
You shouldn’t, he gets off on that as do his cohorts.
Find him hilarious, absurd etc.

It's helpful when making an argument about racism to make reference to race.
