And facebook tells its users to vote. Encouraging people to make their voices heard and engage in the democratic process is a good thing.
Hey some of us are the crazy cousin saying you should vote while also advocating pissing on the floor when your job tries to deny bathroom rights.
Only if ya can deal with ranting about how modern cars suck due to overuse of electronics and half crazed rants about guns and how we should bring back neighborhood militias.
"Vote to participate in democracy! Here's some local voting resources"
vs
"Vote to protect our interests! Tell your representative that they are killing free speech if they don't listen to me"
An enemy state giving kids a script of nonsense to harass politicians with is absolutely not a good thing.
Rival is better than enemy, but yes. We're as friendly with China as we are enemies. It's complicated, but I don't want the simple version to be the narrative.
They're not a rival. They're a hostile power.
We are both dependent on each other because that's how the global economy works, but we are not friends and there is no possible path to friendship unless one of our countries has an extremely bloody revolution and completely changes our mechanism of government.
Our core ideologies are not compatible.
