If the president was going to be Elizabeth Warren, we wouldn’t be questioning her loyalty to the US over China, but that’s also why she lost her early front runner primary status as Biden was pushed through. Biden and Bloomberg were the two main CCP-compromised candidates that had shady business deals with China, and it’s already been revealed that many of Biden’s cabinet picks and staff have deep ties to China.
In terms of media and internet censorship, I’m now wondering if it’s really that much worse in China than it has been in the last several months for US. China’s pandemic lockdown policies has not been as prolonged as in several US states. And I doubt the % of China’s population who questioned if illegal acts were committed in China’s elections has ever been as high percentage as in the US recently,
Yet it's still a speculation because Biden hasn't yet taken the oath. For next couple of days he is not yet President. Also politicians change their tactics or strategies pretty much every day.
Lol Biden would be forced to step down for “health” reasons if he tried to switch away from pro-China strategies,
Btw, it’s also not a Dem v. Republican thing, if the election was Elizabeth Warren vs either Mitt Romney or Mitch McConnell for president, then Warren would’ve been the anti-China candidate.

Shack, lay off the crack. The US has nothing even resembling the censorship of CCP. Be serious for once in your life!
Judging from the rhetoric since the 6th there is a realistic chance things get to a point where Fox and OAN channels aren't allowed on TV, Parler type sites aren't allowed on the internet and in person conservative protests/meetings aren't allowed. Yes there is also a chance the woke would get bored into sanity without Trump, but if they don't, there is nobody left to stand up to them.

Re: Democracy 2020 (President-elect Joseph R Biden Jr.)
Well it's not looking too great, but the more I think of it, the more I'm confident in my analysis of Trump that he is always in control of the situation and the Democrats the reactionary ones. If nothing crazy happens (such as Trump flying away at 8 and then leaving the military to take over the country) I'd be more inclined to believe he knew this would happen since Nov 4th than I would anything since then catching him off guard.
Re: Democracy 2020 (President-elect Joseph R Biden Jr.)
The problem is if Trump really looses you pin down the blame on someone else rather than accepting that he was never in control.

Re: Democracy 2020 (President-elect Joseph R Biden Jr.)
Apparently Fox News spent the day going after Mitch McConnell. And Hillary Clinton, which isn't anything new as their producers and a block of their audience still think she's running for President (45% according to their own poll last Fall), so back to McConnell...
I hate McConnell. Attack him. Call him out. Run 24-hour news cycles about him. But this is such an ignorant stance to take. He's been arguably the most effective Senate Majority Leader ever. His list of conservative accomplishments in the Senate is truly monstrous. He puts winning political battles over that of making friends, and that's resulted in defining the country in many ways for years, decades, and even generations to come.

Re: Democracy 2020 (President-elect Joseph R Biden Jr.)
Trump was by far the best foreign policy president since I've been alive. However if he doesn't do anything tomorrow his mission to drain the swamp will make his overall mission a failure. He got eaten alive by them leading to a massive gaslighting campaign and psychological warfare to get rid of him that will have damage for years to come. 2020 was a disaster as he let them riot, lock people down and steal an election while doing nothing to stop it because those were states issues beyond his responsibility. The only way for all the abuse to be worth it is if he could finally hold the political untouchables accountable. Otherwise it's his fault for not pretending to be their friend more. He basically declared war on them from day 1 so they went to war with him:

Re: Democracy 2020 (President-elect Joseph R Biden Jr.)
It's finally over. It's such a relief to not have to be so concerned with politics for awhile.
I'm not delusional enough to blindly back any President (or any politician or anyone else), and don't see them or their decisions as foolproof, like so many decided to do these past four years which cultivated into dangerous and deadly situations and actions. But we'll finally have a White House, and hopefully Congress too, that's actually going to do their job and uphold their oaths, unlike the insanity that came from the Executive and Legislative branches the past four years (past two years, especially).

It has been unbelievably cathartic to welcome President Biden and Vice President Harris.

Re: Democracy 2020 (President-elect Joseph R Biden Jr.)
So question. With an equally split senate, is there still a minority/majority, since Harris is technically only a tiebreaker, not an actual senator?
