    US has term limits and doesn’t even permit a “leader for life.”

    Lol. Lmao even.

    US has a broader international identity

    I would say “lol, lmao even,” but the horrors inflicted on all the non-whites in the US is not a laughing matter.

    and is much less isolationist.

    Sure would be better if it was.

      Everything I said is true and you didn’t refute any of it. You do realize that, if you have nothing to say, you don’t have to post, right?

      Trump has been leader for 5 years, and will cease leadership in 3 years. Xi has been in power since 2012 and can be leader for the rest of his life.

      Now please explain how US is NOT less isolationist than China. This should be good. 🤣

        You imply that it is good to have term limits, despite the fact that it is clearly un-democractic to limit who the people can vote for. If the people like someone and think they should continue their work, they should be allowed to do so. [EDIT:] And if China did have term limits… what would it change? Xi ends his terms and then what? Someone else will simply step up.

        I didn’t say it wasn’t. I said it would be better if it was.

        When you order beef and the waiter brings chicken, you point out the mistake. When the waiter bites your nose, what do you do?

        This is a leftist space. Debunking is something done in general forums, when you’re trying to inform the audience. No one here is gonna waste their precious time debunking any of that for the 100th time lol

          To be fair, this isn’t an explicitly leftist space, just a space with a lot of leftists and moderated by them. Clear debunking of anti-communist mythos does have value, as many anti-communists and other liberals do come here.
