    The entire world is baffled as to how the once mighty USA can sink to the bottom of the toilet bowl, in one short period of four years.

    God forbid, if they had Fox news, they, too, would be dragged down the RW propaganda rat hole.

    I for one am not baffled at these foreign govts attempts to interfere in our election on behalf of Joe Biden

    Nations around the world took advantage of the United States for a long time...Trump has called them out

    A 2011 study in one State, that asked about one issue?

    wow...what we know from this is that propaganda machines know that Dembot readers are not likely at all to read past a headline

    Scroll on down to the third graph.

    https://news.gallup.com/poll/211883...urce=World&g_medium=newsfeed&g_campaign=tiles

    People can say all they want... the US remains, but a huge margin, the number one destination of immigrants. Like, it's not even close.

    So... it doesn't matter what a couple of cherry picked people by MSN have to say.

    There is a reason for that. Liberals can claim the US is a mess, broken, needs fixing, blah blah blah.

    Facts are facts.

    So, Australians are worried about the US, because your concerned about China in the South China Sea and Pacific.

    Interesting.

    The rest of the world should do something, shouldn’t they? Never mind. They don’t have the stones or resources to do a damn thing. :)

    They prefer to let us do everything then bitch about how we do it.

    Yeah yeah

    Twist is how you will - I am just surprised I did not see more isolationism being used as a validation for Trumps appalling handling of international relations

    I would like to see that same survey repeated now with four years of Trump. (Survey was published 2017)

    • Active racism towards immigrants
    • Separation of families
    • Children in cages
    • Rioting in the streets because of racism
    • Worst spread of Covid in the world
    • Tanked economy

    Sounds like the usual collection of right wing tropes.

    Ah yes, unlimited government. That should fix everything. ;)

    The U.S. is fine. We have a broken federal government and broken political system but the private sector is doing extremely well given the disaster it is enduring that was caused by the government. instead of fighting each other politically, we just need to come to the realization that our federal government is broken and take steps to fix it. It isn't complicated. Things like single term limits, banning federal funds to be sent to state and local governments, ending the practice of operating on debt are all good starting activities. Why can't we work on that? A broken political system, I suppose.
