Agree with the first bit, and wish you're right about the last throw of the dice, but can't see it. I'm not following the war closely, but Russia continues to push the Ukrainian lines back, they've had a good year on the military front. Their economy has held up much better than was predicted...
I appreciate you're presenting a particular sort of argument -- a steel man -- and have seen (at least) some of your subsequent contributions, but disagree with this.
I do agree with the bolded bits, but think you're being a tad conspiratorial about Cheney's motivations. He's not doing it for...
That just isn't the case. Pollsters aim at accuracy, not political positions. It's pretty tricky to be accurate, and failures are due to (usually outdated) methodology which, subsequently, gets corrected.
While I agree with you that the US isn't remotely socialistic, I'd quibble with your characterisation of the Biden Democrats as of the centre-right and akin to the Conservative Party of the past (unless you're talking about the 50s and 60s). Biden has shifted policy and the overall ideological...

If your answer is yes to this question, please share with us something like an exit poll for the 2020 election to see how it stacked up against the outcome. If they didn't do an exit poll, or their exit poll was wildly...

I also agree completely with this. Biden is not only not Trump and has beaten and is the most likely candidate to beat Trump again, he's also transformed the economic agenda in the west far more than any other politician has in the 21C, especially via his attack on 'trickle-down economics' and...
