  1. Well you aren’t really arguing it well. I don’t think western interference is the only reason why other countries have less development, but in some cases it can be.
  2. Yes, imagine when they can make realistic sex bots, you can talk to them with realistic AI, and you can use VR to make them look like anyone or act out any fantasy, it will sap peoples desire for real relationships entirely. The only way for humanity to continue is for the government to use artificial wombs to grow new people.

  4. Hezbollah is still much smaller than the IDF and Israel can just pressure the US to give even more support. A bigger issue is turning an entire generation of the Middle East against them more than ever before possibly leading to conflict with multiple major powers again decades down the line. Their plan for that is not going to end well
  5. The US supported Saudi Arabia spreading Wahhabism, funding Islamists in Afghanistan and Syria, and extremism increased in rebellion to Israel winning the six day war and occupying Palestine with US support
  6. Islamic fundamentalism regained popularity in large part because of western interventionism
  7. But the Middle East had higher development than the west during the Islamic golden age, and their countries have very valuable resources like oil
  8. The issue for any dem now is if they think Kamala will lose and challenge her but lose, if she goes on to lose they may be blamed for it and if they try to run in the future people will say they had their shot and lost. It makes more sense to just not challenge her and let her lose then they can swoop in after that with a much better shot next cycle.
  9. You know what would be nuts but smart, RFK Jr. reregisters as a Democrat and challenges Kamala at the convention. He’ll lose but if he uses the opportunity to bring up his more progressive proposals while all eyes are on him he can pull some dem voters with him when he returns to his independent run.
  10. That makes no sense, being a VP basically guarantees a future nomination if he seeks it. I get why Kamala is in the conversation despite arguably being a weaker choice (everyone already knows her so she has less room to improve and is also losing to trump in polls) but I don’t know why everyone brings up Newsom, he is deeply hated by a lot of the country and comes across unlikable and slick. Infamously he once starred in a pro gay marriage ad and polls actually found people became less favorable to it after the ad came out because he was so unlikable. Any popular dem governor team especially if they’re from a swing state would easily beat Trump. If it’s Kamala or Newsom it is unclear who will win.
  11. If no one chose to oppose him, that is different. Obama wisely waits until the nominee is decided before entering the campaign.
  12. It’s not fair and square because there were no debates and some states like Florida cancelled the primary. Both candidates you mentioned said themselves they were blocked from a fair contest. Had they had debates this whole thing would have been avoided and they’d have had months more to focus on campaigning against Trump by the way.
  13. No it isn’t. They didn’t have debates, the candidates didn’t even get townhalls on major outlets, multiple states just cancelled the primary. Polls showed that the majority of democrats wanted him to drop out. https://www.ipsos.com/en-us/abc-news-ipsos-july-survey

  15. Biden would not have dropped out if dozens of top experts weren’t telling him he can’t win
  16. The problem is they’d lose donors who are against many popular proposals
  17. The exact same as what Biden would do or any other potential democrat nominee would do
  18. Kamala has an advantage over Biden in that she can usually speak normally, and she may be less associated with Gaza but, her major disadvantage is it will be way easier to associate her with wokeness. They tried to do this with Biden but it never caught it. It’ll be more effective with Kamala.
  19. She is VP… everyone knows who she is. That’s her problem, everyone already has a opinion on her, many on the wrong foot.
  20. Obama hasn’t endorsed her, they’re going to the convention
  21. It doesn’t. She’s a career politician and was Vice President.
  22. Biden and his advisors have more experience than you. Their choice is more accurate.
