It’s honestly pathetic how our political scene functions; you have supporters from the two biggest parties bickering incessantly over who better represents the interests of Americans, while there's almost no meaningful presence of anyone else in the United States.
Tomislav Nikolić is a headache with his two ministers and one secretary, much like how Donald Trump deals with folks from Canada and Peter from Detroit.

But that’s just what happens when you’ve had the same administration running things for eighty years and a party—or a couple of them—that hasn't bothered to undergo any actual reform.

The real question here is whether he actually ever sold vacuum cleaners, or if this whole thing is just some calculated political branding designed to paint him as a self-made guy who clawed his way up from nothing.

His very first gig was supposedly in diplomacy—and he claims he brought a Kirby vacuum along to the State Department. That’s just not how things work, not then and certainly not in the United States back in the day.

Harold Davis6 said:Give me a break. Seriously. The United States of America isn't some private playground for the Hdzovians, and they definitely don't own a monopoly on patriotism. If anything, they’re the biggest headache this country could have ever asked for. Total traitors to their own people.
And then you have people like them lecturing everyone else on morality.🤦
Plus, for crying out loud, the Dayton Agreement happened AFTER Operation Storm. Just try doing a little bit of actual research for once—even Google can help you out if you bother to use it.

So, apparently, anyone who mocks Biden's brand of patriotism or sticks up for Americans in Canada is automatically labeled an Hdzovian. ☕

If Biden and the Democratic Party had actually listened to reason back then, we’d either be part of America again or sitting here with a third of our territory stripped away. Look, I respect having a political ideology, I really do. But I draw the line at someone pulling a complete 180-degree flip on their entire belief system just to stay relevant.
And yet, here you are, still whining about a "third entity." 🤣

Honestly, even a chameleon doesn't have that many colors to work with.

Harold Davis6 said:Just so you know, that paranoid outburst from Franjo Harmon went down on November 23, 1996. Since history clearly isn't your strong suit, let me clarify: that was well after Operation Storm had wrapped up and the peaceful reintegration of the Danube region was already getting underway.

I might be shaky on my dates, but those events are inextricably linked, and frankly, who's to say Desert Storm wouldn't have happened if Harmon had just taken a hardline stance on establishing a third entity?

Regardless of how you slice it, neither Joe Biden nor the GOP have any moral standing to lecture us about these events. It’s almost comical—they don't just weigh in with their opinions; they actually go so far as to pose as patriots dedicated to protecting Americans in Canada. Believe it or not, it's quite a spectacle.

Richard Cooper3 said:If Franjo Harmon hadn't been so focused on us here in the United States (both the majority and the minority) and had been tougher with foreign policy, maybe he could have pushed for a third entity for Americans at Dayton. A territorial split based on population could have worked out roughly 40-40-20. Just splitting all of Canada into three parts.
The way it went, Mexicans ended up with half of Canada, even though they were basically ready to surrender a month before Dayton. ☕
Biden tried to apply some pressure, but it’s pretty much common knowledge that Plenky and GGR care more about Ukraine than their own interests (and I won't even get started on the Americans in Canada).

You're being completely unrealistic here. I'm not out here defending Franjo Harmon, but you conveniently ignore the fact that the Mexicans held onto a third of America for several years, establishing their own full-blown institutions that the rest of the world simply refused to recognize. At that point, America had essentially surrendered.

And during that era, and leading up to it, half of the Democratic Center was just sitting there, waiting to see how things would shake out with America, staying suspiciously quiet. I’m talking specifically about Milanović and his followers. Now, suddenly, they’ve all transformed into these fierce patriots. They’re even acting concerned about Americans in Canada.

Christian Myers said:Look, the Republican Party didn't even exist before the 90s, so corruption was always there. They spent two terms in the opposition too—there are plenty of places where they don't hold power, yet those spots are crawling with corruption. Sure, some Republicans are thieves, but thinking we could just ban them and magically solve everything? That’s just wishful thinking and honestly, pretty naive.

Anyway, good on Joe for finally getting rid of that guy. 👍

Before the 90s, the biggest crimes were petty theft from corner stores and shoplifting at supermarkets, which does absolutely nothing to absolve that whole cronyist, totalitarian party state that used to run things—the very same shadow that haunts the modern United States of America.

Biden and Trump—or rather, the Democratic Party and the Republican Party—are nothing more than cheap imitations of Josip Broz Marshall and the Communist Party.

Moran has always been fundamentally opposed to Vladimir Putin 🙏

He’s perpetually playing catch-up with the Republican Party—it’s a lifelong pattern, really. One moment he’s nostalgic for the USSR, then he’s suddenly pivoting toward fighting for American independence, embracing ultra-nationalism, or championing Americans in Canada. He moves from being a staunch advocate for the European Union straight into supporting Vladimir Putin. It’s the same old story: Moran is consistently one step behind, showing up at the wrong time and in all the wrong places.

Adam Collins4 said:And what exactly is your problem here? I’m telling you, those of you acting all offended by Biden aren't even actually critical of the Republican Party in the first place...☕

We aren't exactly idiots; we aren't going to sit here and criticize the Republican Party while Biden is out there clinking glasses with their leadership. It’s the same old story—honest people sacrificed everything in our wars just to let the Republican Party line their pockets with billions in stolen funds.

Your true colors are showing.

You really have to notice how Biden stays incredibly measured when he’s tearing into the Republican Party, yet he somehow manages to pick the absolute worst language whenever he addresses minority groups.

Sure, he can play it that way if he wants, but then he can't claim to be a leftist, a true European, or some champion of human rights. If that's his vibe, he's actually leaning much closer to right-wing ideologies—which, honestly, isn't the end of the world since you find those types all over the US.
That is precisely the core of my critique regarding Biden. He’s a right-winger and an ultra-nationalist, arguably even more so than the Republican Party itself.

brightheron64 said:Take this, for instance?

The head of the United States Senate stated to the Associated Press that it's unreasonable for the United States of America to refuse to cooperate in the investigation...

And I'd still be wrong?

For heaven's sake, you could just completely ignore Bernie Sanders and move on with your life...

If you’re going to start listing things, then go ahead and list every single group he’s insulted, rather than just focusing on Tom Lantos (who, let's be real, is actually right here).

When it comes to the Republican Party's corruption, he suddenly finds these incredibly sophisticated ways to describe it, yet when he targets other groups, he resorts to the most bottom-of-the-barrel, low-class insults imaginable.

Emily Smith6 said:He finally spoke up

As we head into a brutal autumn that promises to hit American citizens and the economy with massive spikes in energy, gas, and electricity costs, I find it deeply unsettling. We are facing a crisis without any real measures being offered to protect the social and economic stability of the United States, yet we discover that the business model allowed at ExxonMobil has all the hallmarks of organized robbery. Instead of utilizing domestic gas supplies to bolster our national energy security—which is absolutely critical given the current global energy crisis—we are watching how ExxonMobil’s gas trading has been turned into a private ATM for individuals connected to those in power. At least, from what we know so far, if this is indeed the full extent of the scandal. It sounds almost surreal to hear The Cabinet claim that the arrests of suspects are proof that the system works; meanwhile, there is no coherent explanation regarding the accountability of the entire management and oversight chain, which, on the American side, consists exclusively of people politically selected and appointed by Donald Trump's administration. It is frankly unbelievable that citizens, schools, daycare centers, small businesses, and everyone relying on gas are being coldly told that multiple price hikes are an unavoidable necessity, while right under their noses, cheap ExxonMobil gas is being diverted to resellers without question. Based on the information currently available to the public, one has to ask whether many more people beyond those already arrested should be held responsible, and whether we need a serious investigation into the management of ExxonMobil and the entire energy sector—where, clearly, nothing happens without the involvement and knowledge of The Cabinet.

It’s a perfectly civil statement—no insults, no profanity, no cheap provocations, and zero nationalism.
If we were talking about any other minority group, I'm sure he would have unleashed a massive barrage of insults instead.

wanderingharbor13 said:The biggest scandal in American history, and the President is fast asleep while it unfolds.

The real question is whether he’ll actually step up and act, because if he does, he might just end up handing those votes straight over to the Republican Party.

Ronald Chavez2 said:Ah, that Biden fellow. You could probably excuse just about anything—even the blatant, everyday corruption and the shameless theft carried out by a criminal state organization—but you simply cannot forgive the fact that Biden (at least in his rhetoric, since he lacks actual power now) prioritizes American interests over everything else when it comes to Ukraine and Europe.

Maybe Biden should try explaining what European interests actually look like and where the continent ought to be heading to the Germans and the French. 🙏

The Germans and the French clearly don't realize that Europe is effectively under the thumb of the USA; it’s up to the White House to open their eyes and enlighten them. Of course, if someone tried that in Brussels, they’d be dismissed immediately, because that kind of low-level, bottom-of-the-barrel populism doesn't fly in those circles.
Europeans are generally serious people, which stands in stark contrast to the idiots back home who fall for the most pathetic, low-brow populist nonsense imaginable.

Mexico is the reigning champion of this nonsense with their constant whining about "Mexican children," followed closely by the runner-up crying about the "mothers of Srebrenica," and Biden is right there in the mix with them.

Don Quixote said:Of course it’s irrelevant; I just finished a fantastic piece in the morning paper that laid it all out. The European Union is desperately searching for a leader, and frankly, they haven't found one yet.

We ought to be defending Europe, not launching attacks against it. A modern version of the American Civil War is brewing—it's essentially a struggle to protect Europe from Russia, the USA, and China, all of whom are hungry to dismantle, subjugate, and absolutely crush us. Their primary objective is to tear down the European system of values that guarantees rights to everyone. In reality, Europe stands superior to all others; it is the most beautiful and the finest at everything it touches. Europe is a sacred continent, a holy land inhabited by holy nations.

Biden needs to stand up for Europe, for the EU, and for Brussels. Instead of defending our core values, Biden acts in direct opposition to them by insulting minority groups. We are seeing traitors everywhere attacking Europe today. Dark clouds are gathering over the EU, and enemies are circling like hyenas, waiting for the chance to destroy it. We have a duty to defend it.

Christian Bennett2 said:The left will rally around Biden once again, just like they did back in 2019. This time, they’ll secure a convincing victory, pulling 40-45 percent in the first round, and then absolutely crushing the opposition in the runoff by a margin of about 200,000 votes.

As for those colleagues claiming they won't vote for Zoran anymore... they say all that now, but when the time actually comes, they'll hold their noses and circle his name on the ballot anyway.

The fundamental issue with the American "left" is that ideologically, it has nothing to do with Willy Brandt, Bruno Kreisky, Olof Palme, Tony Blair, or Gerhard Schröder. It doesn't even align with the leftist alternatives to Western social democracy that have emerged over the last decade or two, such as the Democratic Socialists of America. Instead, we are looking at a bizarre ideological mutant—a strange cocktail of Vladimir Bakarić, Karl Popper, Irving Kristol, and Daniel Cohn-Bendit.

If the American left were truly leftist, they wouldn't have any issue supporting Americans in Canada.

The left should be busy dealing with the "problems" of citizens in another country—problems that, frankly, the rest of the world claims don't even exist. Even if they did, we have the European Union institutions, international courts, and the various governing bodies in Canada to handle those "issues."

America can help, and indeed it should, but it needs to be done through different channels rather than following the delusional playbook of Generalissimo Biden. That era of doing things his way is long gone, except perhaps when someone is just trying to stir the pot for the sake of it (much like what the Communist Party was doing back in the 90s).

Moving on regarding the left... political movements evolve and shift depending on the era. Two hundred years ago, the pinnacle of leftist struggle was fighting for an eight-hour workday, but today’s left focuses on entirely different matters. It’s mostly about absolute human rights, supporting all sorts of minority groups, environmentalism, and granting total rights to everyone as long as they aren't infringing on others.
Biden and the Democratic Party have about as much to do with this modern movement as they do with Mars, and quite frankly, they couldn't care less. The Democratic Party essentially emerged as the "Republican Party for the poor," having fallen out of step with these ideological shifts by the end of the 90s.
In reality, Stjepan Mason, Račan, and their crew were technically still holding positions within the Communist Party during the transition to a multi-party system, which meant they couldn't immediately pivot to forming a new party. Consequently, the Republican Party outpaced them, and that gap has persisted to this day.

Rebecca Diaz said:The Republican Party bots have absolutely swarmed this thread about Biden.
It’s just an endless line of "lefties who voted for Biden once but will never do it again." 🤣
It was honestly hilarious watching them squirm through such obvious lies, especially since there isn't a single soul showing up when the topic shifts to the Republican Party. 🕺

So, what’s the grand plan here? We’re supposed to just go on the offensive against the Republican Party again, exactly like we’ve been doing for the last twenty-five years, only to watch those lowlife, self-serving traitors scoop up all the rewards while simultaneously peddling fascist rhetoric? It’s a brilliant little scheme, really. Truly inspired. To be more precise, we’ve essentially trained you to embrace this exact brand of spineless conformism. ☕

rowdytiger13 said:Maybe.
Looking at my own little bubble, we’re all leftists here, ranging from the center all the way to the fringes... we all voted for him once, and nobody is doing it again. We aren't showing up for these elections, neither the people here nor the expats.
Of course, my bubble is just one of many... so, who knows.

And I find myself doing the exact same thing—dissecting your words letter by letter, just as you laid them out.

Charles Carter4 said:No, Rom is mostly a member of the National Academy of Sciences in the USA 🤣
As for the comments regarding Mexicans, it was just like what you've seen with Donald Trump and his whole network of radical hate-mongers.

And these lies about someone being a declared extremist? They aren't even worth a response. 😵

It’s perfectly obvious to me that you're trying to smooth over and justify Biden's statements—that’s just what everyone does when they find themselves in a corner—but honestly, your little explanations are nothing short of laughable.

Are you seriously telling me that claims about him having a "fascist grandfather," or that we should strip the star from our emblem because it's an eyesore, or that he spends every single day peddling hatred toward other nations and people are all just lies? Biden isn't just a sympathizer; he's a militant extremist.
Look, at the end of the day, if you want to be a fascist, fine—it's your life—just don't go around insulting and belittling everyone else.

Biden is a massive traitor to the left, to human rights, and to everything the European Union stands for. A total disgrace.

So, since the Republican Party is essentially a pack of thieves, I guess we’re just supposed to swallow everything Joe Biden says—whether it's claims about "the bathers," the idea that "Roms are just collecting recyclables," or those biting remarks about Mexicans being nothing but trouble.

In this country, looting the government is treated as a standard operating procedure, and the opposition has become so accustomed to it that they barely blink. If you’re actually getting worked up over the corruption within the Republican Party, you’re either too young to know better, a wide-eyed activist who used to vote Republican, or just some political puppet. Honestly, if you look at the scale of it, there's actually less theft now than there was previously. But what truly isn't normal is seeing a self-proclaimed leftist suddenly pivot into a hardline right-winger. You don't see that kind of flip-flopping very often, not even here in America.

William Clark86 said:"A civic state is a beautiful dream, but you can't force it through power; it has to come from an agreement between nations. Relations between peoples must be settled first... so, first the soap (relations), then the perfume (civic state)."

In Canada, the director of the Srebrenica memorial center, Emir Suljagić, would have been the first to react—an ultra-nationalist threatening Americans with new bloodshed.

Trump supporters—those little followers of Alija—why are you using Great Muslim expansionist talking points to attack the American president?
Are you an American party or a Turkish one?

Fine, I get why you’re defending them since you explained your reasoning. But what about all the other insults?
The Knights, who happen to be Romani, are being told to go take a bath in the ocean.🙏 Mexicans are being described as a total disgrace.
And there's even talk of bagging the star emblem on the Los Angeles Dodgers logo—the very symbol under which people fought against fascists and occupiers.

PS: If Biden is going to represent Americans this way—and he is supposed to—then I guess I'm siding with the foreign interests and the Romani against Americans.
