I’m honestly looking for work in the EU. If I can land a job, I’ll get established and then bring my family over.

MODERATORS
The Ratchet effect.
With this current trump slop, the democrats can shift farther right than they've ever been and gain tons of moderates and even conservatives who just feel sour on trump, and obviously they get the liberal moderates, because trump slop.
Republicans shift right by 10, dems shift right by 6 and seem progressive in comparison.
Billionaires continue getting richer, and we all get fucked. Eat, sleep, repeat.
Obama's legacy:
- After winning the Nobel peace prize, he dropped an average of 30k bombs / year (80 per day) during his presidency, mostly on Muslim countries, 2, 3. In 2016 alone, dropped 26,171 bombs in the Middle East and North Africa, up 3000 from the previous year. The countries bombed include Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya, and Somalia.
- Began a campaign of drone assassinations in the Middle East and Africa, in which 90% of those killed were not the intended targets, but innocent civilian bystanders, including women, children, and US citizens. 1. Drone strikes are used by the military and the CIA to hunt down and kill people the Obama administration has deemed — through secretive processes, without indictment or trial — worthy of execution. He authorized 10 times more drone strikes than George W Bush, 2. The Obama assassination program is detailed in the drone papers.
Biden's legacy:
The democrats are a brutal, vicious, genocidal party.
Ah yes, the hilariously idiotic progressive purity test. Biden is the most progressive president in the last 50 years and you morons call him genocide Joe.
remember when Joe Biden stepped in to stop a federal railway strike, which was asking more (basically any) time off, an end to precision scheduled railroading, and for basic safety regulations and maintenance, and then two weeks later a train derailed in Ohio from faulty brakes and bathed the area in hydrogen chloride, benzene, and phosgene, causing an ecological disaster that made the nearby area hazardous to live in?
that's progress, baby!! 🎉🎉
Supplying a genocide is pretty terrible, not to mention the utterly insufficeint to downright harmful domestic policy and the incredibly warhawkish foreign policy. Biden did his job as a steward of the US Empire more nakedly than Obama did, though certainly less naked than Trump now.
It shouldn't be surprising that leftists are critical of liberal imperialists.
If the most progressive president in 50 years isn’t good enough maybe you need to consider a different home country.
Nah, the US Empire impacts everywhere. A revolution is necessary, same as it always was. Genocide is evil, not progressive.
