If Trump were asking for a third or extra term you guys would go bananas, but since socialist Morales is, that's okay because he cares about people when he just cares about power and would roll tanks over people's heads if he could get away with it.
They deserve a Trump victory, then a third one in 2024 after the US supreme court allows him to run for a third term.

oh no, we'd have a president from the national duopoly controlled by the same ruling class as always

but to be less crass, people are actually talking about the Supreme Court stealing the election... again. Which goes far beyond simply allowing someone to run.

Out of interest, is anyone here actually concerned about term limits?

Sure, if Trump got more terms by cheating or whatever, but that's a cheating thing, not a term limit thing.
I would have enjoyed Howard having term limits

It's not "grounds for death". They weren't executed. They picked a fight with a police caravan, and then we don't know what actually happened. You're choosing for whatever reason to believe the armed escort went "hey look, a different race of people. Anez told us to murder all of them." And then they only got a few cause they're really bad shots or something. They were active participants in a battle, that's not genocide.
Let's put your standard into another contexr
The Uyghur are well know for resisting police, hurting Hans and bombing train stations. They're active combatants. So therefore they deserve the internment they are currently receiving
Yep. Sounds legit

There's an old Chinese saying, may you get what you wish for. In my opinion, they deserve a Biden victory.

A Biden victory at its worst will...

Prioritize, cut, or even get rid of social security for a 500 ship navy(which even the University of Texas's at Austin; War on the Rocks calls far-fletched, but that's one way to fund it)

Start a war over Belarus or Ukraine to fight back against Putin

Compromise with the republicans on saying natural gas which is not going to affect me as I live in a hedged state against climate change, but will affect Texas, and the South.

And do coups in South America against the socialist party of Bolivia, Venezuela, and in the future Brazilian head of state, and my main man Lula in Brazil.

I had a professor named Elizabeth Saunders straight up tell me Biden's a realist on foreign policy; which translation means he doesn't care about human rights and is similar to Trump's offensive realism.

Don't feed them, man. They're busy exchanging tweets.
Nah, somebody has to do it. People who supported setting government buildings on fire in the US are now supportive of government crackdowns on protests in Bolivia for attacking a political headquarters, just days after arguing with me that crackdowns on protestors literally blockading a city were uncalled for. The double standard is sickening.

They don't care. Psychopaths don't care as long as they win.

It's just shocking to see the switch flip so instantly. The socialists regain power and without missing a beat we've flipped to "jail all the dissidents".

It's because they won, man. It's the only way to justify what they believe, is that they must keep winning. If their ideology was a failure then it's the fault of others, and when it's a success it is a proof to themselves that they are virtuous and that they must protect that victory at all costs.

People protesting to force the government to have a fair election.

vs.

People protesting to force the government to discard the results of a fair election.

You condemn Nazi Germany for going to war, while also supporting the Soviet war effort against Nazi Germany? Double standard much? Checkmate, atheists.

I don't support Guaido's coup attempt or the theft of Venezuela's overseas assets. Do you?

I don't think Venezuela's elections are any less democratic than those of the United States, though admittedly that isn't a high standard.
