Why are you booing? Oh yeah, right. Because it's a shallow and superficial take - but still, the boy has a point.

The Dems have been neglecting democratic process within their own ranks, in effect alienating their constituency - and it has been going on long before Palestine hit the mainstream. The last time the Dems held a primary was in 2008.

All of this has culminated in a disenfranchised voter base that just doesn't give af about the dems - and it's well deserved.

I think they will cut some support, but not all of it. The results is that Europe has to step it up, meaning European military industrial complex needs to step up, meaning US companies will lose money... and Donnie boy is all about that scrilla.

Not just that, but a post above this one says how the constituency may have lost their faith in the democrat party and why the elite rhetoric used against democrats sort of has legs to stand on. If it's just a central body that decides the candidate and the constituency has no say, why even care? The choice has been made for you.

Yeah, and the American election will show wether or not he runs the US as well.

I think you may be underestimating Europe. National militaries is one thing, and pop culture understanding of the region is another, but you'll find plenty of armaments and munitions in private care all across Europe. Not to mention how some Baltic and Slavic countries are still armed to the teeth, despite having a deficit in military spending.

In any case, the complaint about Europe not spending enough on military is a tired argument, because Europe wasn't neglecting their military - Europe was literally told to remove large swathes of industrial military complexes.

For more info, ask an African, the Chinese, the global south, everyone told Europe to put their guns down - and all across Europe military assets ended up in private hands.

The joke being that in the cities you won't find much guns, but travel out to the country and you'll find large showrooms.

But yeah, if the US betrays Europe, that might be the final nail in the coffin for European and US relations, so much so that I think the CIA would just drop Trump to avoid diplomatic suicide.

Americans will get a rude awakening if they think Europe will just lay down our arms because they say so.

If the orange one wins, that's a wedge into the divide between us.

No.

Please read my original post again. Did I say "was and always has been" or did I say "is"?

It is gambling, because dark pools. That is the house. You're not trading the actual stock. The financial institutions do that. You buy stock from them, and they in turn give you a fake number and invest it in all secrecy.

In essence, you'll get your money, but they will handle the profits. So it is a rigged slot machine.

Bruh, wtf you think stock trading is? Buying into funds is just hiring professional gamblers to work for you, "insider trading* is cheating and dark pools is just the high rollers table.
