Did you forget the very close 2008 primary where Hillary entered as the huge favourite?

Russia, the literal fucking definition of an oligarchy, not an example
Looking good folks
I know blue collar labor is looked upon warmly in socialist countries, but I didn’t know driving buses granted you inordinate amounts of social status you could wield to effectively become President.
Gusanos want to have it both ways: he's a dumb bus driver and also a powerful oligarch.
Apparently my teacher got this from her department chair. Gotta love my unbiased education
Xi Jingping literally lived in Rural Iowa before coming back to China and made his way up the CCP.
Lmaoooooooooo
He did not live there. He visited as member of a delegation examining Iowa's agricultural tech.
I did not live there.
Stop posting on Chapo and launch the nukes already.
ah I thought he stayed there as foreign exchange student must have read that wrong?
Edit: I did read that wrong.

Anyone else finding that schools will just accept or even promote imperialism? A person in my class was doing part of a group presentation on the economic challenges Venezuela faces and they said a solution was to "install a new leader." The professor thought that was "excellent." Makes my stomach turn to see this kind of thinking reinforced while this is the level of understanding these people have about these countries. :agony-4horsemen:
I don't think it's the main purpose so much as it's the effect of what's described in Manufacturing Consent: you don't get or keep a job as a teacher if you're actively opposed to imperialism.
It's main purpose is propaganda and manipulate the young masses for future movements.
I once wrote a paper in high school on why the US should have done an even bigger imperialism in Somalia 😬
I don't remember what I got.
One of my History teachers in Texas told us that it's illegal for teachers to call any actions the US took imperialist.
The Venezuelan constitution giving Chavez and Maduro the power to do things, was ratified by an 86% turnout and the vast majority voted in favor.
Gain power through wealth, military power, social status
Said without a shred of irony in a country run by a billionaire gameshow host
Which one of those did Maduro have? Wealth - no more than any Venezuelan politician. Military power - none, unlike his former rival for power in the Chavista camp, Diosdado Cabello. Social status - he's of working class background, neither blue-blooded nor bourgeois. He got in power by being part of the movement/party that supported Chavez.
Please tell me this was from a presentation done by the most illiterate student in your geography class.
This was somehow by the person who’s supposed to be teaching that student
I know there's absolutely no chance of this happening, but this is so blatantly false and propagandistic as to be parody and I wish it could be reported to someone at the school that would actually be smart enough to realize what nonsense it is.
My geography class, my teacher also said that CEOs don’t really control our lives cjfnhdg
Hot damn, thats a load of bull. Obviously no political bias there. Glad you're seeing thru that bs.
In a socialist america every teacher should be given a background check to make sure that they didn’t watch red dawn when they were a kid
CEOs don't. It's the boards, the interlocking eternal board members.
Bring Gilens and Page 2014 into that shithole and ruin the narrative.
One party state isn’t really the same as an oligarchy in the sense we usually think about it.
