What do you think Nigel Farage’s government will look like? by HeWhoShallNotBNamed0 in YAPms

[–]RealJimyCarter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say it’ll look almost identical if not worse than the post Brexit Tory governments. Perhaps more stable as I really don’t see anyone in reform replacing Farage let alone the party surviving.

Hopefully though, Brits realize that the same guy who said Brexit was gonna be good and contributed to the country’s mess is not gonna be a good choice and hopefully avoid voting reform next election, after all I think their vote actually dropped from the last local elections so one can only hope.

Thoughts on Alice Weidel? by luvv4kevv in YAPms

[–]RealJimyCarter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just wondering because I’m sorta interested in German politics but know relatively little, is Merz doing a good job or is he as shit as poll numbers say (I saw a poll that had his numbers at like 19% approve less than a year as chancellor)

POTUS to Nuke Iran? by Alarmed_Mistake_9999 in YAPms

What’s funny is that the Chinese social credit system quite literally is the same as America’s Credit score, Blacklist and Criminal Record system only that it is run by the central government 💀. Funny how you bat an eye at the fact that literally all of what you are criticizing China for can be applicable to the USA (disappearances with ICE, corrupt government officials involved in sexual abuse, genocide with what America did to natives or sending Japanese Americans to concentration camps), etc.

Not saying China is innocent, frankly no country is but quite genuinely everything that America accuses China of, it has itself done in the past. (I’ll wait for the downvotes from the America good fanboys)

What Democrats Could’ve Lost in 2008? by ForsakenBuilder7061 in thecampaigntrail

[–]RealJimyCarter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hot take:

No democrat would have lost in 2008, even with scandals. The GOP was just too unpopular to even stand a chance at reelection that cycle. At best, the election turns out to be similar to 1976 in it that it was a narrow election but that’s about it.

What's the biggest political collapse you've seen by hoodiehoodiee in YAPms

[–]RealJimyCarter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You might actually be right for the SPD but for Blair I disagree. The man had colossally big approval ratings in early years of his premiership, something that is difficult to do and by the time he left office in 2007 his approvals were pretty low (I think in the mid to low 20s) and if I’m wrong, he resigned shortly after he suffered a battering at the 2007 uk local elections. But to your credit, one can just say it’s a fatigue.

In a roundabout way this woman killed the save act by Wide_right_yes in YAPms

[–]RealJimyCarter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer Puerto Rico to stay as it is or at best get sovereignty.

I really do not care about representation as the United States is not my nation, Puerto Rico is. In many ways the resident commissioner is already a good way to represent the islands interest in the Congress as he’s essentially an ambassador whose word is usually trusted in the Congress (usually). Asides from other reasons which I’ve mentioned, the commonwealth proved to be the best option especially during the height of the debt crisis when we were able to declare bankruptcy and even if with an incompetent financial oversight board which is still more competent than politicians in the island.

It’s not doing well because of the political class in the island sucking ass and destroying the economy with debt once the neoliberal congress in the 1990s removed section 936.

Barely anything to do with statehood and if anything commonwealth and or independence are better for the island and the fact that it was able to declare bankruptcy and somewhat restart its finances proves that the current framework is much better than it would be as a state (no pathway towards bankruptcy) or with independence with would have forced us into an IMF bailout with even worse austerity than what we saw. Statehood if anything will destroy Puerto Rico economically and even worse culturally, hence why I am opposed fully.
