Biden, at these tabletop sessions, often spends hours asking questions and testing assumptions, participants say.
:doubt:
I mean, the questions asked are probably like "where am I" and "mommy, is that you"
So this is technically correct
“They really wanted outside-the-box thinking of, is there any way that this war, which will be horrible for everyone involved, can be stopped? Can we stop it? How can we stop it?”
I find this hard to believe, unless biden is even dumber than i imagine
six hours in, ties have been loosened, everybody's tired, empty take-out containers all over the table, but not a single person has suggested diplomacy and taking russia's security concerns seriously
"okay, I know I said that there's no such thing as a wrong idea but whoever keeps writing 'treat the Russians like they're people' needs to stop."

Sounds like they have a bunch of morons attending these meetings if they couldn't figure out how to prevent a special military operation, and they think that "creating policy contrast with republicans" = pointing and whining at republican policy
Eh, it's what the Russian govt is calling it, it's using a fraction of Russia's military forces to grind down the imperial proxy with artillery, and it annoys libs
It's the same thing the US does when it starts a war that it doesn't have domestic or international support for. Just call it a war
I feel like I never saw headlines like these before Trump. Trump was president and then every week some paper was like "Historian appears out of a dense fog to prognosticate on the downfall of America." As if 'historian' was suddenly a respected profession that served as advisors to the powerful.
Course, even if that were true, I'm sure it's a bad joke. No doubt these are Ivy League dupes so thoroughly propagandized that they're less historian and more illiterate priest, rotely repeating memorized scripture they never understood.
My thoughts exactly.
Really curious what type of history these guys are writing. I'm assuming it's not particularly dense.
Idk even our leftist history buffs are all soundly set on the idea that we’re on the cusp of something new in America. Like sure we might not be losing American democracy tomorrow (because what democracy lmfao) but it definitely feels like this system has reached its end conclusion and will just remain gridlocked until something ruptured through and a new formation arrives. Trump just gets blamed because he pulls the mask off the facade but this crisis started under Obama if not originating in the 08 crash
Comparisons were made to[...] the lead-up to the 1940 election, when President Franklin D. Roosevelt battled rising domestic sympathy for European fascism
Ironic
