  • This is silly in our current voting system. Not voting in this election is equivalent to voting for Trump.

    People on the right (e.g. evangelicals) often see voting as their responsibility and will vote for whomever they see as the lesser of two evils. Those of us on the left get too bourgeois about our candidates. Our failure to vote keeps moving the window right!



















  • Countries can do a lot of things. You’re discussing something that didn’t happen though.

    According to the article, we sanctioned Venezuela, and they ignored those sanctions to purchase and smuggle a plane from the US.

    The sanctions themselves are a separate discussion, but I think a reasonable person could expect some form of consequence. To be clear, I’m not defending the sanctions. I haven’t spent enough time reading about them to form an opinion.
