They will be America's major adversary in the post-Soviet era.

china is going to be a tough pickle

they've been around for thousands of years, only the mongols and the japanese have stopped them, and both only for a short time

they're making inroads to africa now

They're stockpiling our debt, our currency, our real estate

mitt was a cuck, but at least he wanted to go after them some. obama did nothing and now we're going to pay for it

The good news is that they've bent to our will on steel and textiles, which shows us to be the victors of trade war. Unfortunately, Nov 1 may be too short of a time before the midterms to truly feel the effects of it completely.

It is a good optics victory though, and hopefully Trump can lower some of our tariffs on our side to equalize with the Chinese and give himself some much needed last minute approval boost

yea

we need this kav win

Definitely

Assuming the Republicans aren't stupid enough to bend to the dems' wills and delay Kav until after the midterms, having it be a party line vote with the exception of Manchin will be very good for our Senate prospects

i hope heitkamp votes no. because that's the one senate race that we seem very likely to flip. the rest are all a bunch of 50-50 races

i wonder how those 50/50 races will split. will both parties win some, or will one win most?

i would put NV/AZ/IN/FL/MO all in the same bucket

(i don't think TX is competitive and i think TN is going to be at least a 5 point win)

If the dems in the swing states/red states vote no, they could have a universal swing to us

yep

and no votes could bring WV/OH/MT closer to the pack too

WV won't be a no vote unfortunately

What would actually happen if we went to war with China?

MT though, that will be very good

that sucks. if manchin votes yes he'll be hard to beat

he's a coward

dude is never the decisive vote on anything

Of course, that's my theory

lieberman was the last real independent-minded guy the dems had

how come we always have a handful? it's BS

That's the thing about the Republicans

We can't seem to get the party united for anything beyond tax cuts

sad

The dems band together over everything against Trump

well and judges. unless they cuck us here

dems get in line and vote as a bloc

it's funny, they call the dems the big tent party but

ideologically, they're very narrow

Trump has to explicitly come against Manchin's tactics

we have all kinds of people

In like a tweet or something

He is much better liked there than Manchin.

why won't manchin just change parties to R? i think he does if we get to like 54-55 in the senate
