No. Because that's a vote for trump, obviously

All else aside, imagine knowing you were making a political decision so bad that you think pivoting to the economy is a good idea

I went to several cities in the the Henan province (primarily Zhengzhou) in 2019 & no I don't speak Chinese.

I don't mention it much because of that, but when I went to China there were a bunch of people living in caves who were walking down (~0.5miles) to a river to get water. There is still a gap between policy and achievements, it's just not useful mentioning it in most places. But I wonder sometimes how much of the attitude about China being utopian is a bit and how much is true belief.

In general I have developed a huge amount of uncertainty in regards to foreign affairs/conditions because you both can't really trust that news isn't carrying foreign policy and devoid of a lot of deep cultural & historic context I am not sure you can develop reasonable interpretations even if the news is true.

It is entirely possible that in their minds the statement

Forty-one percent of Biden supporters say they believe people who support the Republican party and its ideologies have become “so extreme in what they want that it is acceptable to use violence to stop them from achieving their goals.”

means that it's ok to stop the people who shoot up schools and synagogues etc

edit: as opposed to just bombing the Republic National Convention or swearing in ceremonies or whatever violence means to them here

In fairness this is no different than all the other things he can't remember and has to pass off like he does after some one briefs him, they just need to improve the vetting process for who has access to the mic/president.

sorry, it would simply cost too much to allow the poor to have a voice in society
