Assuming the political leanings of the populous are measured in a vacuum, sure. But they aren’t.

Right, we also aren’t measuring political leanings worldwide. We are measuring them in the United States.

In the United States leftist have very few voters and candidates because of its lack of popularity.

When your only options of votes are “guys who have a hard-on for fascism” and “let’s appeal to those who aren’t entirely sold but are willing to see where the fascism goes”,

The reason these are the two options are because these options win in the primaries by the majority of voters choosing them in a democracy.

Leftists run in the primaries and lose fairly, even to AIPAC candidates.

If the majority of voters are centrists then shouldn’t the policies reflect that?

Do you think leftist policies should be forced onto voters that don’t want them and vote against them?

I read the article and don’t understand your comment. How is this an example of democrats trying to get “center voters”?

Not that they shouldn’t be trying to win over centrists, they definitely should because there are more centrists than leftists by a lot and those centrists are constituents.

Not to mention that is how democrats have won the majority of nation wide elections in the last several decades.

Loans come with interest payments which makes the cost increase. If someone can’t afford solar panels without a loan then they can’t afford them with the additional interest payments.

Solar panels are cheaper in the long run after up front costs. People who can’t afford their monthly electric bill don’t have the capital for the up front costs.

But if I could afford to install a system, yes it would be cheaper after X amount of years.

If someone can’t afford their electric bill how are they going to afford solar panels?

To avoid the accusation of “joining the war” soldiers have become legal citizens of Ukraine to help fight. Not only US soldiers but soldiers from other European nations as well.

The same thing has been done in Russia using Chinese, North Korean and Brazilian citizens just to name a few.

But the US military has definitely been sharing intel with Ukraine. Ukraine doesn’t have the ability to spot their targets deep inside of Russia alone.

The existence of the US military is a prerequisite for the development and manufacturing of those weapons. The US military trained Ukrainians on weapons use and tactics and shared intel. Some even became contractors to join the fight.

Other than that it sounds like you agree with me that this is a leadership problem.

That’s a leadership problem just like I said.

Every country has a military.

Supply weapons, labor and funding and got European nations to do the same. This was before Trump became president.

Not only that but if it wasnt for the US military then Russia would control Ukraine and would be advancing into Europe.

Or China would have already invaded Taiwan.

Or North Korea would control South Korea.

The problem here isn’t the US military. It’s the leadership.

But the foreign bots brigading lemmy want the US military weaker so those nations can advance their geopolitical goals.

Soviet deployments of nuclear missiles in Cuba

According to the Kremlin

Cuba tried to help Russia nuke the US.

The U.S. has been sanctioning tankers delivering petroleum from Venezuela to Cuba since 2019.

They also buy oil. Remember oil needs to be refined.

I’m sorry that the truth makes you so mad.
