    He didn’t answer a single fucking question about anything, just ranted about illegals eating pets the whole time.

      This is why I don’t watch the debate. I know it’ll just piss me off because he won’t say anything but crazy shit.

        It was great seeing Kamala get under his skin. The reaction cams were really fun seeing Kamala react like a normal human to his insane rantings and him just smoldering and getting angrier and angrier when she hit back

    What does “win” even mean? NATO starting World War 3? Well, they’re getting there.

    This stood out to me. Do we know of anyone who Trump might be worried about upsetting if he said he wanted Ukraine to win? Anyone at all?

      What is confusing to me is why would it matter to Putin if Trump lied here? The Russian mode of government is lying and deception after all.

      Does he actually think that his voters want Ukraine to lose? Oh fuck, do his voters actually want Ukraine to lose?

        That’s what annoys me the most. Tankies will go defend Russia like it’s the promised land of communism, when the only remnant of communism it has is rigged elections and propaganda.

          Also wrong. Rigged elections would imply there ever was a communist Russia. There never was. It was (maybe at its best, in part) socialist and most of the time after the zars a military state. That is true for all states that were left leaning btw. No communists to be found.

              Great argument. What do you base this on?

              It’s like china calling itself communist right now.

              Yes there was rhetoric in the USSR that suggested they were but it was an instrument to legitimate the horrible things that they did to their people.

              From https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communist_society

              A communist society is characterized by common ownership of the means of production with free access[1][2] to the articles of consumption and is classless, stateless, and moneyless,[3][4][5][6] implying the end of the exploitation of labour.[7][8]

              That was not the case. It was state owned, as the transition from whatever system was there before to socialism plans. Communism is supposed to be something different.

              I am not arguing that it would be good or better than anything we have today but am saying that we never saw communism in the modern world.

              Change my mind with arguments and not down votes.

                This is a semantic matter. No socialist state has ever claimed to have reached the stage of communism, including China. But some socialist states—including China—have been/are run by communist governments/parties, which claim to be working toward reaching that stage.
