To some of you, your disagreement with centrists is "political". To many others, it is life and death. Dead is dead, and at that point does it really matter if the other fascists are "worse"?
Bottoms up! Hopefully you sold your bourbon stocks...
"In a report published last week about the views of foreign governments on the presidential election, experts at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington think tank, said governments in Canada, Mexico, Japan, South Korea, China and the European Union all shared concerns about higher tariffs under a second Trump presidency.
“As Americans go to the polls, their choices have ramifications for the world,” Victor Cha, the center’s senior vice president for Asia, said at an event marking the report’s release."
While undemocratic (mostly right wing) parties rule Europe, the US goes one step further and takes firm measures to make voting obsolete. For me it was about 25 years ago that I've learned that the only vote that counts is in Euro's not choice or opinion. Now the self declared example of democracy will set a trend that Europe will follow blindly, no questions asked.

In at least 19 states so far, the Justice Department requests voter roll information including date of birth from voters who are registered, ahead of the 2026 midterms. (I discussed this on THE POLITICRAT podcast on Sunday.)

MISSOURI REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS OVERTURN THE WISHES OF THE VOTERS FROM PUPPY MILLS TO NONPARTISAN DISTRICTING
Luxon reckons NZ needs to be more like Australia when it comes to voting. The Aussies have to register 25 days before voting starts. Luxon delivers this word salad.
"And we think that's on balance of the right thing to be doing."
Er, O'K. But Australia also has compulsory voting with fines for non-players. When will NZ adopt that part of AU best electoral practice instead of disenfranchising people?
