    Recent comment I saw about removing Biden ‘I wish the Democrats were this united and got this much coverage over literally anything else’
    This video is long but well worth a watch. AOC outlines the legal obstacles to removing Biden and the real elephant in the room, funding. If Biden and Harris are removed from the ticket the the campaign funding rules mean that the $100 million they have cannot be transferred to the new ticket. Fundraising will have to start from scratch.

    While I don’t agree with all of what you’ve said, I agree with the key sentiment that using Trump as a scapegoat for the ills you’ve outlined either in America or around the world is ill informed at best.

    American presidents actually have less power than people think - for me the most important thing they do is influence positively or negatively the general mood of the nation and also the world stage. Ignoring dictators is probably the worst thing you can do - speaking to them opens up channels of communication and over time more likely than not reduces the chances of threat. It also shows that you’re not afraid of them. It’s definitely something worth trying .

    If Trump does get in it will be interesting to see just how he manages Putin/Ukraine - there’s going to have to be compromise on both sides if we’re to see an end to it - I don’t like that idea personally but I’m a realist - Ukraine is falling very slowly, house by house street by street. Into Russias hands- it’s slow and painful to watch but give it enough time it will happen- only so many Ukrainian soldiers left to fight- only so many requests for more military aid left to grant - it needs a strong hand to guide it to a conclusion now

    Have a look at the video and get back to me.

    AOC is a very very competent elected official and comes across as very hardworking also.

    I'd love to see the Party look to herself, Buttigieg and a few more in terms of policy for the next 30 years but the fact that she will likely play the Bernie role if she manages to avoid being targeted by the likes of AIPAC in primaries says just how much of a lie it is to call the Democrat party a radical socialist party. It's barely Left of Centre in many ways, AOC and Bernie therefore stick out like sore thumbs while they themselves are very pragmatic in terms of political ideologies.

    You're assuming there that Putin would be more than happy to keep what he has stolen from Ukraine and that would be the end of his imperial ambitions. But almost everyone in the former Soviet Bloc thinks he is far from finished with the land grabs - listen to what the likes of the Baltic states, Poland, Moldova, Georgia, Kazakhstan etc have to say about Putin. He would invade all of them at 9am tomorrow morning if he thought he could get away with it.

    With this in mind I once knew a big burly Georgian man. It was quite an eye opener to hear the panic in his voice and see the fear on his face when we talked about Putin. " He is a bad man. I fear what he will do next"

    This was back in 2014. My point is for people living in Baltic and East European countries its a very really and scary threat for them. Whereas some of us further West maybe inclined to dismiss such fears as paranoia

    Empty hand wringing. Take about 5 mins to sort that out. "Here's your money back, send it to this account please". All the fluff about ballot access is similarly nonsense. Biden can't be out on any until he's actually appointed as the Democrat candidate afaik, so it would be the same for any other one.
