Trump was in real estate. He wants land. Greenland does have leverage. They could refuse the US offer. Greenland doesn’t have the power to stop a US invasion but such an invasion would be illegal. Consequently, a subsequent administration could withdraw. However, if Greenland signs a deal, that would be legally binding.
China buying US farmland will have no effect on the US but allowing Chinese students will be good for the US economy. They have to pay tuition and some will stay and use their talent.
No, the US government would have companies bid for the computer program. The winning program would be required to be used by all states in drawing districts. The winning program would be subject to peer review.
Seems like a good idea. Democrats should push it. It could be part of the DNC platform. Having a computer program draw districts would also end gerrymandering but proportional representation seems simpler.
If Democrats want to use a term such as ethnic cleansing, they better confirm that what Israel is doing fits that definition.
The problem could be simply that Democrats did not attempt to connect with young men. Kamala Harris refused to appear in Joe Rogan’s podcast. From https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/democrats-dip-manosphere-search-key-young-male-vote-rcna243890
One place that young male voters found a sense of community and culture, Democrats say, is in the loose collection of podcasts often dubbed the “manosphere.”
These podcasts — hosted by comedians such as Joe Rogan, Theo Von, Tim Dillon and Andrew Schulz — often make "you feel like you’re not alone,” Litman said.
“It’s funny, often very funny. It’s a little subversive or often very subversive. It feels intimate. You get to know the hosts over the course of hours and hours of conversation: their lives and their, their personalities and their quirks, and I think that is really special. Like, the parasocial relationship can be very powerful,” she added.
Democrats must make sure that whatever Israeli action they condemn is verifiable.
That’s the reason to accept my proposal. Ownership of assault firearms would be prohibited until age 23. The government cannot strip people of owning guns unless they have a criminal record or certain mental illnesses.
It’s unnecessary to use words such as genocide or ethnic cleansing since this only causes debate on whether it’s actually happening. Democrats should simply decry Israel’s action in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon.
A better law would be to restrict the ownership of assault firearms until a person is 23 years old. The reasoning is mental illness or criminal behavior preventing a person from owning firearms would manifest themselves by then.

At the center of all of this is an acknowledgement that public opinion on the Democratic Party has dipped to an all-time low, men are souring on the party especially quickly, and losing ground with about half the voting population isn’t a recipe for success. It’s weighing heavily on the minds of Democrats while making Republicans giddy: On Friday, President Donald Trump needled Democrats for wanting to “spend money to learn how to talk” to men.
Jeff Horwitt, a Democratic pollster with Hart Research Associates (who conducts the NBC News poll with a Republican counterpart), told NBC News that a look at recent presidential exit poll results shows that “when Democrats do well broadly with men, they are competitive. When Democrats are not competitive with men, Democrats lose.” And while Horwitt doesn’t believe Republicans “have a lock on young men,” the GOP spoke to their economic anxiety in 2024 in a way that loomed large in 2024.
Trump probably doesn’t give a shit but without the support of Venezuelans, the result could be another Vietnam.
Not just relationships but the problems each gender faces. Democrats have been too focused on the problems women face probably because they foolishly believed that since there are more women than men, this would enable them to win.
I don’t think Venezuelans would accept being a territory over a state. It’s like a woman accepting to be a mistress over being a wife.

Democrats know they have a problem with men, particularly the young men who have drifted away from them in recent years. But six months after the gender gap contributed to the party’s disappointing showing in last year’s election, top Democrats are still throwing spaghetti at the wall, lacking a unified theory on how to win these voters back.

That’s because Puerto Rico is not a state. According to the title of this post, Trump is ‘considering’ Venezuela as 51st state.
There are many women in the American right. However, Democrats would be smart to not just cater to women but to men.
Would the GOP take the chance? I’m fine with Venezuela becoming the 51st state of that is what Venezuelans want.
Republicans and Democrats might not be interested in eliminating gerrymandering. That’s the reason neither party has ever proposed having a computer program draw districts.
