The reality is that the Ukrainian territory being discussed is overwhelming ethnic Russian anyway. It is possible, perhaps even likely, that they do not feel so fond of mother Russia now as they did before the invasion.
Your major problem is that roughly 40% of the electorate are as stupid as the sheep in Animal Farm. "Orange man baaaaaaaaaaad!" They don't even know much about the sock puppet emperor of China, let alone any other candidate down ballot.
RCV might even work for an educated electorate, but we clearly don't have one.
Maybe, maybe not. I am, in no way, justifying the fatal beatdown over a traffic stop, just contrasting the outrage to the total lack thereof against the capitol police for doing the same thing.
Yeah, I knew about SOME of that, but your link provided even more juicy details. Maybe we should start replacing chants of “Let’s Go Brandon” with chants of “Timișoara”, LOL!
Jesse Jackson once famously said that if he felt he was being followed on the street some dark night and turned around and saw a white person, he would breathe a huge sigh of relief.
All I know is that the people who tell me I should care a great deal about this situation didn’t care one iota (or were even glad) when Ashli Babbitt was fatality shot in the neck . . .
Nor about the other unarmed woman who was beaten to death on the capitol steps by the capitol cop in remarkably similar manner as Tyre Nichols . . .
I hear you, but I am thinking of all the possible uses for such a car, including:
Children that need to get ferried 6 blocks to school, piano lessons and back.
Old people, especially those in rural areas, who can no longer safely drive to get back and forth to medical appointments, grocery shopping and the like.
Stoners who shouldn't be doing their own driving. Ditto for alcoholics and Floridians doing winter driving north of the Mason-Dixon line.
So are they going to release the footage of the capitol cops run amok and beating an unarmed white woman to death on the capitol steps and shooting another one to death in the back who was climbing through a broken window?
