    Yeah no shit. Every major power is trying to influence their rivals’ elections, it’s the most cost effective way to try and destabilize a country like the U.S. or China. What’s more interesting is which side they’re interfering for. We know the Republicans are firmly in Moscow’s pocket, we know that Trump considers China an enemy, but that doesn’t necessarily mean China wants a Democrat either. It could be that the geopolitical gains China made during Trump’s administration outweighed all the trade war tariff nonsense, and they want the idiot to drag us further backwards so they can expand their hegemony.

    It’s cute when the US accuses countries of interfering with elections like they’re protecting their world record or something

      Yeah, every nation does. I don’t see your point. Is it not bad? Your comment seems to try to direct anger away from China, but also seems to imply it’s bad the US does it. It’s bad though, right? You aren’t just making this comment to misdirect, right?

        They f****** over Pakistan’s elections just a few months ago, USA is the king of ruining functioning governments anywhere in the world.

        CIA straight up admitted they failed to gain an operational foothold in China like they did everywhere else which is why they never have a solid grasp on what China’s next move will be. Not to mention the CCP makes arrests like monthly on people they believe or accuse of having connections to the CIA.

    They are priming the response when Biden loses, so they can blame someone else for their ineptitude and failure to govern.

      Except if you’re willfully being ignorant or arguing in bad faith, it’s been known that Russia and China have been meddling in elections.

          Lmao, I only see one side actively engaging in coup like behavior. Care to explain your idiotic stance, or will you do us all the favor and not reply?

            Jan 6 is a dog and pony show for liberals to keep them rallied up. Absolutely nothing will come of it other than charging the low hanging fruit. It’s the liberal version of ‘lock her up,’ red meat for the rabid dogs.

              You’re equating apples and oranges, and the fact that there was an attempt to overthrow the government is a nothingburger to you. it just makes it clear not to take you seriously. You’re a joke like your opinions and your sad pathetic existence.

      failure to govern

      I have a new one for the bulleted list that usually just goes over reductions in CO2 emissions, growth in wages for working people even outpacing historic inflation that wasn’t Biden’s doing, etc etc the normal stuff that represents a big upward departure from the norm for US presidents.

        How much climate damage is US weapons contributing to in the ME? Can’t claim wages are up when homelessness is growing and 50% of renters can’t afford rent. The elderly are being priced out of their homes and into the streets. Union support is growing because of labor support, not the government. And union support is growing because of stagnant wages.

          Just gonna pretend I didn’t send you some links you could read about Biden’s NLRB, and keep repeating the “I’m so left that I can’t support Biden” false narrative piece by piece as if it was true, I guess?

            If you believe the bullshit about mitigating climate change and wages from the DNC I’m gonna assume everything else you believe is also bullshit confirmation bias. Leftists would no more support Biden than you would trump.
