Charitably, one could also consider that Ukraine might be voting with the US for buttering up purposes. They do kinda need Trump to somehow stay on their side.

the low wage immigrants that earn significantly higher than even the median American wage, and where it is literally required to pay above the "prevailing wage" for workers doing similar jobs...

and lying about who's able to get an H-1B with "dog-trainers, massage therapists, cooks, and English teachers"

H-1B has obvious flaws (like the difficulty in switching jobs and lack of pathway towards permanent residence) but his main criticisms of them in his statement show ignorance at best, other than the obvious one being that the megacorps do use them to get exploitable workers and there should be better protections for workers.

Both of those things are caused by us pumping groundwater. The sea level rise is significant. But it only correlates with the axis tilt, it does not cause it.

The sycophants that help the CCP still are Hong Kongers, like it or not. And it was passed in Hong Kong by Hong Kong legislators. Just that it's not been done so democratically.

If I were to properly manage a second community it would likely be the Hong Kong one that I already have moderator status on here first lol, but I have no intention of being a powermod XD

Against people that want to see the people of Palestine not be constantly bombed into oblivion. Trump's US will be significantly worse for women and minorities, so most people in those groups will end up better off under Biden because at the very least the Democratic Party aren't literally white supremacist fascists. Those that don't vote for Biden will largely be doing so as a protest vote or through apathy, which is significant (especially when you can see the size of the uncommitted vote, which is quite significant, and I hope grows), but also self-defeating — so it makes sense for the Democrats to pander to the type of person that would vote for Nikki Haley (which unfortunately somehow has a demographic much bigger than the left) instead, since they wouldn't necessarily be endangered as harshly by Trump and so need incentives to vote for Biden.

The ones that will suffer most under Trump are the ones threatening to get him elected. The Dems know this. If anything, that's leverage Biden has and is using, unfortunately.

At the end of the day though we just have to see whether current strategy works out come election day, I feel. Or if/when, God willing, a peace is attained.
