  • The US lost this war, but that doesn’t mean Iran won

    Inflation is around 80% YoY, the Rial is at historic lows, while the broader economy is expected to contract 6-10% this year. Iran has a path to “winning” long-term by establishing permanent control over the strait, but it’s far from a guarantee

    The reason the US is guaranteed to lose is because we had nothing to gain to begin with. Vague ideas of security and the removal of non-existent nukes from Iran does not benefit the American people





  • No other country seems to get that benefit. He is our drmocratically elected leader

    People supporting him is normal in the US. 39% of the population continue to support him

    We need to take a real hard look at our country and realize what we did. Trump isn’t some aberration, he’s a democratically elected leader, who got elected twice

    We have a lot of structural issues that led to this, from poor education and rampant anti-intellectualism, to an electoral college that subverted the popular democratic result to bring him to power initially

    Our electoral system is such that ~40% of the population will support a candidate for their party no matter how bad, simply because that’s their team, then that candidate can be elected with less than half the vote
