Globalist war mongering? Trump’s abdicated any responsibility and has handed Afghanistan back to Russian influence; he seems to defer to Putin.Jezza wrote:^ Don't know why you're shocked.
Globalist war mongers exist in both parties.
He’s screwed the Kurds, allowed the Sultan of Turkey Erdogan that Islamic fundamentalist in a suit to be in NATO while screwing their neighbours and weakened the US internationally. Some feat.

Really don’t get the outrage over the Afghanistan stuff. Surely Russia’s position there is as legitimate as America’s (or ours for that matter). The real moral outrage is that the US are still there.

It's probably always something worth keeping an eye out for, but I suspect that most claims of shenanigans have been exaggerated (from Sanders supporters, #Resistance libs and Trumpists alike). The real corruption of the democratic process, I'd argue, remains gerrymandering and voter suppression, which have been practised wantonly in every election in recent memory.

Soros? Seriously? Come on.
Also, while I somewhat agree with his critique of the too-easy Biden endorsements from Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez, Dore's response to (his own preferred candidate) Tulsi Gabbard's sell-out move, endorsing Biden nearly a month before Sanders dropped out, was ... a little different, to say the least:
