Woo! Ranked choice veto won!
Hopefully it'll be ranked choice in November unless the legislature pulls another fast one.


Republican primaries didn't even go past the first round for Governor so the LePage placement businessguy Shawn Moody won

Democrats however had it for Governor and Senate, which it looks like that those will go to the 2nd round.



The ballots will be taken to a central place to be counted to verify a 2nd round is needed and then they'll proceed with the rounds.

Because the US is the main obstacle to rapprochement on the peninsula, US brinksmanship is a threat to both Koreas, and Moon has been trying to steer the US government this way.

Bezos should just be glad that modern anarchists don't just immediately go for the old school italian anarchist tradition of murdering those in power

He's got nukes so they gotta take him seriously, and the bad Dems are all against taking him seriously because it's Trump taking him seriously.

If he had capable nukes and missiles with Obama the Dems would be crying that the Republicans think it's some kind of Socialism/Juche conspiracy and I doubt KJU would trust Obama to not drone him.

Moon asked him to. That's how negotiations start - you ask someone to negotiate. that's literally it. That's why Obama got a deal with Iran - he said "hey lets make a deal"

because Trump, unlike previous presidents, isn't flatly refusing to engage with him

bush actively torpedoed previous diplomatic deals with North Korea, and IIRC Obama's policy was basically just hoping Kim would go away if we ignored him

also, the hardline hawkish conservative South Korean leadership was replaced by a pro-diplomacy liberal, so South Korea is eager to deal

bad dems have adopted trump as their obama figure

nothing he does can be worthwhile even in principle and all of it must be opposed. which is like 99% true because he's a big dumb baby man war criminal but it's worth individually evaluating each situation instead of kneejerking

China gave him a bribe and cleared that right up tho.

Anything "good" Trump does is going to be opposed by bad dems because it usually involves making GBS threads on other terrible entities like Jeff Bezos or China.

My one concern is how that would work out for Europe. A lot of European countries have small armies because of NATO, theoretically at least if France is attacked they'll have the entire US army on their side.

If the US withdrew our troops from Europe couldn't that trigger a military build-up across the continent?
