    There is plenty to be said about Ukraine not being an idyllic liberal democracy, but nobody is saying it.

    Nonsense. Corruption in Ukraine has been openly discussed and addressed since the 90’s. It has prevented Ukraine from becoming a member not only of the EU but a number of other international organisations.

    No it’s not an idyllic liberal democracy by any means. But it is not moving towards becoming a totalitarian mafia state like its hegemonic neighbour.

    I am sure it’s a hotly discussed topic in your circles. The subject doesn’t come up in the messaging that trickles its way to me, except from those who don’t mind being labeled pro Russia agents.

              You’re safe now in Texas. You can vote Republican without the least fear of shaming, shunning or Black Panthers blocking your polling station.

              If I were an American I would have absolutely no qualms about marking my X next to Nikki Hayley’s name on the ballot either.

                  She's certainly infinitely preferable to the alternative.

                  Better qualified, too, despite the fact that he's already done the job 🙂

                  I was only joking

                    In order to avoid this kind of thing, I believe the democrats have a service that will mail your ballot for you.

                      Forgive me if this has been posted but apparently ABC asked Vivek before the debate what his goals were and he said “to be unhinged”.

                      Thank you for your attention to this matter.

                            I was simply too busy yesterday to make it to the polls, but in my absence, my fellow Texans voted for the following two things:

                            • Texas constitutional amendment to prohibit wealth taxes
                            • A reduction of property taxes which in my case will amount to $200/month

                            The GOP continues to establish itself as the party of social justice. We lowered unjust taxes, and prohibited any future attempts to unjustly tax those who contribute the most to society. It makes my heart proud. The right side of history feels... just right.

                              Am sure your fellow Texans are proud that you stayed away and did the heavy lifting for the common good of Lone Star state. I hope as well you remembered the Alamo the whole time you remained “too busy” to make it to the polls.
