Like fucking clockwork! It all just keeps falling into place. It's kind of sad, actually!
Spiralling somewhat, but the DNC is in a lose-lose position considering how polarised the left has become, their main hope is forming an anti-MAGA coalition over the next four years, but the energy is alot lower than it used to be, and the left is alot more divided.

Its impossible to predict the next four years, but they're definitely going to pick a safe moderate, probably a black, Conservative democrat man to try to get an Obama 2
 
It's been a long day for me and I'm a bit exhausted at the moment to make convincing and cogent arguments using proper consistent and cogent theory and empirical examples
If you like, and I mean that as a sincere and genuine offer, open up a "Debate user XL xQgg?QcQCaTYDMjqoDnYpG on the ethics and logic of tariffs" in Mass Debates and I'll go in detail tomorrow

I'm not even gonna take your negrates personally
It is a topic that almost everybody is miseducated about

Again, and I mean this not as contrarianism, but as a fact of reality: Tariffs are bad
But how and WHY are tariffs bad? The point of tariffs is to remain competitive in the global market for the benefit of the host country. If businesses will outsource jobs and products but still expect the host country to pay full price, the tariff will have them reconsider their choices. Encourage domestic trade and business to strengthen domestic economy. What's wrong with that?
 
Genuine question with executive orders, barring the fact that I agree with a lot of what Trump’s doing aside is it not a glaring system issue that a President can essentially rewind a lot of what the last guy did?
Like, it’s good now but you never know what’s up a few years down the line.
Yes. The proper way is for Congress to pass laws that the President, through the various Departments, enforce. EO are meant to be the current President's interpretation of the laws and how they are to be enforced.
 
Do the executive orders hold the weight to actually change things?
The entire system for classifying information is based on an E.O.
Or can they be overturned by others?
They can be altered, or removed at will by a President, a past President can't bind the actions of a future President, and the Supreme Court of The United States can rule any particular order unconstitutional.
