  • Maybe the Socialism Party wants to select candidates at its annual convention after a rich and edifying political debate. Too bad, that’s illegal. The state doesn’t care for these smoke-filled room candidate selection processes, it got rid of them back in the Progressive Era. Candidates will be selected inside a state-sponsored ballot box by individual voters.

    Meanwhile the Democratic Party successfully argued in lawsuits regarding the 2016 primaries that they could pick candidates however they want. Then they proceeded to openly do it in 2024. Harris didn’t win any primaries.




  • Honestly I think it’s better than making DC a state. Maryland is so tied to DC anyway.

    It also has pretty much the exact same requirements to achieve. Which means it’s not any easier than making DC a state.

    Although, it would mean 2 or 3 less electoral votes for Democrats. Maybe Republicans would agree to that.





    1. Ukraine will become a member of the EU by 2030. The EU undertakes obligations for the post-war reconstruction of the country.
    2. Ukraine does not reduce the size of the army. The United States is committed to continuing support for the modernization of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

    I really don't think Russia would accept these. Ukraine aligning itself further towards the West in any way, even if it's just the EU and not NATO, is bad for Russia. Add on the fact that the EU has recently been talking about having a military, and it might as well be the same as Ukraine joining NATO.

    And Ukraine keeping its army at size plus modernizing makes things even worse.

    • Bahamas
    • Samoa
    • Kiribati
    • Pitcairn Islands
    • Tokelau
    • French Polynesia

    I knew it would be islands, but I had no idea which. And without looking at a map I don’t know where all the Pacific islands are relative to each other. I was basically guessing randomly.
