Biden did not "skillfully handle" this at all. He foolishly damaged relations with China even further by calling Xi a dictator after going to the trouble of planning this summit.
If you cowards would vote for the Green party or any other party this wouldn't be a problem. Instead, you support the Democrats who don't even try to repair the damage the Republicans do. They both get rich from it together.
Third party votes in a First Past the Post voting system are a protest at best and counter-productive at worst.
Your plan is to keep voting for people who don't support ranked choice voting.
My plan is to vote for people who support ranked choice voting.
It makes perfect sense when you don’t think about it.
You don’t know my plan or my motivations.
Who are you voting for?
Sure as shit not a third party candidate.
So someone who does not support ranked choice voting. Great strategy lol.
You think throwing away your vote on a candidate who claims to support electoral reform but has no chance of winning will have any meaningful impact?
They won't have a chance to win if you don't vote for them.
They might if they joined a real party instead of a troupe cosplaying as politicians.
You want change, you join one of the real parties and fight to become a candidate in that party and gain enough influence to shift party policy.
If everyone that did the third party nonsense did that, there might be enough support in a real party to start changing things and maybe eventually make third parties viable instead of just a performative game.
That didn't work, Bernie is an independent that tried running as a Dem, but undemocratic super delegates and a biased media stopped him.
AOC and the justice democrats also failed and do whatever Nancy Pelosi says
Greens support Putin, who is genociding queer Russians. No thanks.
In what way does the Green party US support Putin?

If Jill Stein was working for Putin why would she publicly show herself sitting at the same table?
If Republicans were working for Putin would they fly to Moscow on the 4th of July?
Oh man, what a defense!
"Your honor, if I was the murderer, why would I have been at the scene of the crime, holding the murder weapon in my hand? I mean, that would be too obvious!"
You can't actually think that's a credible defense, come on now
Are you actually saying someone who works for Putin wouldn't publicly show herself with Putin?
Why would i shoot myself in the dick when I could just watch you shoot yourself in the dick?
You do that every time you vote Democrat or Republican
Yes, every time I vote D, I watch you shoot yourself in the dick.
I'm glad I didn't vote for genocide.
You did, you’re just too blind to see it.
Because I'm sure whoever you vote for has a good chance of getting into office. For sure the president in 2024 will be neither Biden nor Trump. It'll be whoever you vote for. It's not like we only have two viable options or anything...
Ironically the polling is showing RFK has a reasonable chace of winning. That opens up the lane for Jill Stein to compete as well.
No it doesn't. No poll shows he has a reasonable chance of winning. That's a lie.
20% absolutely is. He can easily gain 10% more to get to 30% and win it.
How can he 'easily gain 10%?' Why would it be easy? You say a lot of things without any evidence to support them.
Also, that was a telephone poll, so it was extremely inaccurate.
Lol I haven't laughed so hard all day! Thank you, I needed that.
