Because neither of them have polled high enough to qualify for it, neither has the libertarian candidate, even RFK Jr. wasn't polling well enough for it, which is why Biden had to order this, and it wasn't done automatically.

He's also a Kennedy, so his chance of being assassinated is probably higher than your average candidate.

Lmfao

If a similar coup were to happen to Zelenskyy, do you think protestors would not be shot?

If a massive amount of people wanted the government to change policy? I already answered that.

Or went the extra step of wanting Zelensky to step down?

He would most likely do so, however it's unlikely that'll happen, unless Ukrainians decided they wanted the government to fight even harder, the only politician that polls better than Zelensky in Ukraine is a very pro-war general.

don't threaten the current power structure

That's a really funny way of saying, "Don't work with and aid the country literally invading in a war of national survival"

If a similar coup were to happen to Zelenskyy, do you think protestors would not be shot?

If you paid attention to Ukrainian politics any beyond the war you would know that protests in Ukraine have continued throughout the entirety of the war., that Union's and other NGO's that don't cooperate with Russia still function unhindered by the government, and that all non-Russian sponsored opposition parties still function legally.

But please tell me how that compares to Russia where all opposition to the government has been crushed, and where it's literally illegal to be gay publicly.

I'm perfectly aware of that, which is why you have to look at material conditions.

Oh look, Ukraine threw out the government that was literally shooting protestors, and Ukraine is no longer a Pro-Putin authoritarian state.

Whataboutism

"revolution of dignity"

Is what Ukrainians called it after countless of them were murdered by police in the streets and they successfully ran their Pro-Putin dictator out of the country. Seethe harder fascist.

Lmfao stfu Tankie.

It's a "coup" when I dislike it, and a glorious revolution when I do. /s

Zionists are not following Judaism. If you ask jewish people living in occupied Palestine

That's a tiny minority sect of Jews in Israel, a majority of Jews in Israel support the existence of Israel, that's why they're there.

A majority of Jews in the U.S. and globally also support the existence of Israel.

I may be on that side of the pond next year if the elections here are going the way they sound like they're going, I am trying to get as versed as I can in contemporary UK politics, so I appreciate the information.

I'm in the exact same boat, lol. Just been paying attention since the train wreck that was Liz Truss.

But couldn't that be a sign that the Tories have completely fractured, so many of the hard right Tories went over to Reform?

Yes definitely, but that's still a problem, I doubt the Tories would be willing to keep failing electorally just because of Reform.

Some of the far-right Tories like Rees-Mogg have said they think they basically need to copy Reform to win back those voters, possibly even absorbing them into the conservative party, and Farage seems very willing to do that.

By the amount of seats it wasn't very good, still more than most polls thought they would get though.

But by vote share, and the amount of constituencies where they came in second place, the threat is much worse.

Fo3 had a small update recently to get rid of Games For Windows Live and to fix Windows 10/11 compatibility.

The FNV update was probably something similar.

That wasn't exactly on Todd Howard, though? There was going to be a new update for Fallout 4, and everyone, especially every modder, knew that for at least a year beforehand.

There are 5 other even larger projects in development other than Fallout London, Fallout London was the only one to come out and blame Bethesda for a foreseeable delay.

Candidates have to get a certain amount of signatures before getting ballot access on the primary in a state.

Williamson and Phillips weren't able to do that everywhere, and Biden was, that's on them not having as many campaign resources as a literal incumbent U.S. President, not the DNC somehow keeping them off the ballot.

Biden and Dem leadership were saying it up to a few months ago, so it shouldn't be hard to admit.

It was longer than a few months ago and they clearly said why they stopped even considering packing the Supreme Court.

Not only did they not have a congress to pass it, because they've never held anywhere close to enough of a super majority to get past fillibuster. But it's also effectively handing a loaded gun to a second Trump presidency or any Republican presidency to do the same.

During a Fox & Friends interview on March 6, 2024, Gabbard was directly asked about serving as Trump's vice-president. She responded, "I would be honored to serve our country in that way and be in a position to help President Trump..." In March 2024, Gabbard was cited by Trump as one of his potential choices for his vice presidential running mate.

Seems like you're the one who isn't paying attention

Not only did she not even apply for the Democratic Nomination, she seems more inclined to being Trump's VP than a possible democratic nominee.

That's simply not true, Tulsi Gabbard had the opportunity to submit her name to the primary election after getting enough signatures just like Dean Phillips and Marriane Williamson did.

She didn't even do that, the most basic step of trying to become president, I wouldn't blame the DNC for her not bothering with the basics.
