I guess it feels like a dick move to prop up the communist government for our own benefit

ya that is the problem i have always had with out relationship with china to begin with

we like getting the cheap stuff

people are really suffering there, and the usual way communism gets overthrown has been for it to collapse economically

but we just look away at what they are doing

trying to read up on that now, i think i see the arguements why people say they arent

anyways, gotta afk, unfortunately

they own all the land

ya i need some lunch

is spreading out

they are using it to fuck with pppl

so listening to shapiro here, he mentions the polls look bad for the Republicans at the moment. I wonder how many people are not being truthful about who they plan to vote for for fear of reprisal if someone knows they are going to vote republican. Is it possible there is a bit of that out there right now? Honestly curious what everyone thinks here

could we be looking at a situation where the people doing the polling are just cherry picking who to ask possibly?

you know what happened last time polls were really really really bad for republicans?
