You think China hasnt changed in these last 30 something years?
I think that China's leadership hasn't changed in 30 years.

??? What do you think "things have changed" means? That everything is the same?
You also said nazi, which is just batshit fucking crazy. And you follow it up by asking me to tell you what I believe, which you don't know but assume conforms to the vague "neo-liberal" label you're merely throwing out there like it's supposed to stick to something- god please, stick to anything!Well, I'm a progressive, and you basically shit on me at every chance you get, so I just assume you are a neo-liberal.
You are a wise man @theBLADE1. I will always respect your opinions.We have GOT to stop talking about the destruction of the Republican Party because they have been doing nothing but winning elections since 2010.
Instead let's START talking about how supposed liberals have turned into a bunch of spineless losers that don't stand for anything and are in the midst of a very real identity crisis that has left them all reeling.
That's a much more pressing issue as far as I'm concerned.

But I will tell you what, why don't you tell me what you believe in, and then we can label it.
I still think we should be able to assume whatever unfounded shit we can think of about Trump because that's what they did the Mr. Obama.
Like I'm pretty sure Donald is fucking Ivanka. Because look at these pictures!!
We're due. It's been 100 years since the Progressive Era ended. All we need is leader who isn't 75 years old to split from one of the two corrupt parties, some Muckrakers, intelligent but not feminazi women, and Elon Musk(maybe Jeff Bezos if he stops the Washington shitPosting).This is what I have been saying. 8-years of Trump (hope he doesn't do too bad,) but he will push us and make america ready for a Democratic Socialist.

Your issue with me seems to be that I think your stuff is garbage and all over the place. Because you can't readily identify anything where I'm out of line politically. So, it's an emo wittle tantrum.
You have three issues, as specific or broad as you want to make them. Let me know what they are, and I'll identify where I stand on them politically. Use ideological stances, policy positions, my stance on certain events, whatever you like. Bring me three or suck my dick.
Yes it has, several times with different results.
China is actually quite stable from a political perspective because while there is political bickering there is also one goal among them all.
We are arguing figure head vs actual power here.
I don't think that when Xi came to power that anything actually changed.
The Communist party runs China in my opinion, and Xi is a figurehead.

You very clearly don't know anything about China or its history.
China has only been in the process of instituting State Run Capitalism for a little over 30 years now. And yet that decision led to massive internal and external change.
The Communist party is not a conciouss entity, the person at the head is quite certainly capable of establishing the current policy of the party, the party of course will change its head because a single individual holding much power would create instability, so its more like a game of chairs that ensures power succession process without coups, the fact that China has managed such large growths for so much time is testament to their political stability.
Meanwhile a two party system is the most weak system out there because it encourages half the country to obstruct and cause as much harm to the other half with the hope to make the other side look bad.
In a working plural democracy republican obstructionism would had been punished with republicans drifting into irrelevance, instead it rewarded them because it made the ruling party to look bad and thus make people vote for the alternative.
It's impossible for either party to fail when they are literally the only viable alternative. How long until this becomes obvious?A note to Dems, if you are right about Trump, celebrate the permanent destruction of the Republican party.
Folks you can not follow GW Bush, with a equal or worse failure of Trump, and think that Republicans will ever win an election again in our life times.
Now, if Trump fails, but not to the level of disaster that was Bush, then you need to ask yourself why you are screaming like a lunatic with your hair on fire about Trump. However, if you are right, and Trump is more dangerous then Bush, it is time to sit back and enjoy the check mate.
Dems, wake up and smell the roses. We are in a win, win scenario. Either Trump succeeds and the party of obstructionism is no more, or he fails and the Republican party is no more.
Little advice to my fellow Dems though. We can not pick up the Republican playbook of obstructionism, and manufacture Trump's failure. Let Trump and the Republicans succeed or fail on their own merits. By attempting to manufacture failure, the Dems could very well be playing into the worst outcome possible of a stale mate.
Come on now let's be fair. Wouldn't you slip her the D too. I mean look at her...I still think we should be able to assume whatever unfounded shit we can think of about Trump because that's what they did the Mr. Obama.
