That's not common sense, that's nonsense. Playing in a country isn't the same as endorsing the government, but both are bad.
Edit: Wait this is in 2017. Still bad-ish, but less bad.

If she ends up replacing Lina Khan I'll lose all hope for this administration.
It's a bit of a lose-lose situation. Vote and you tell the democrats that you're fine with the bullshit they've been up to the last four years, including nominating a candidate without a primary. Don't vote and, well, you get Trump. Now logically it might make more sense to vote anyway, but these things don't follow logic except very roughly.
It's not a legal system, but rather something the rail company (companies???) implemented. The workers were trying to get the company to abolish it by striking but Biden crushed the strike without giving them their central demand.
One union did that. Many others didn't.
They also got them a historic pay raise and other concessions.
Did he abolish the system that made accidents more likely and was the reason they striked in the first place?
Not American either, but the stats are clear that these two particular demographics are not okay with the current situation.
Now granted the article is about rhetoric but I expect them to do the same things we have seen them do in the past which has largely been effective.
I mean the Biden administration signaled a massive shift from what they've been doing in the past, which is what I was referring to by lax policies, and Harris went further than that to get Republican voters' support.
The US invasion strengthened the Taliban and basically killed native resistance to their regime, so the US does bear some responsibility for this.
Do you see that collapse coming now that the Taliban have total control?
I mean I did say they now have Chinese support where at the time they'd have been more or less on their own.
Because that was the situation before the US invaded.
Untrue. The pre-2001 Taliban saw fierce resistance from the North Afghan Alliance, among others, and didn't control all the country's territory. Compare to now where there's no meaningful resistance to their reign of terror.
I mean sure, but this was supposed to be one of the core differences between Democrats and Republicans that the Dems just threw in the trash, along with the voters this difference got them.
shutting down the rail strike was not being overall okay on workers' it was shitting all over them and the rest of the workers
Definitely true. I acknowledged that as a black spot on his record, but that doesn't change that he was generally pro-worker and pro-union.
Historic atrocities are one thing, an ongoing genocide is another.
