    That’s okay, the US doesn’t support Biden. He’s literally only the president because he’s the least smelly piece of shit. Fascism was an even worse smelling pile of crap.

    The US population, in general, has no legal and peaceful way to elect a leader that represents them. There is just the false choice of less-fascist capitalist party vs racist, extremely fascist capitalist party.

      Okay then, Mr Tankie McRussianbot, let’s all hear what fucking genuis solution you have that no one has thought of in the last thousands of years since the development of human civilisation that you believe is superior and allows everyone’s voice to be heard.

        Proportional representation, like virtually ALL new democracies. Nobody uses our broken and flawed two party system. It was cool and neat when democracy was newer and novel, but it’s super outdated.

        I’m sorry you want to bluster about how uneducated you are on the subject. It’s pretty cringe. That you resort to name calling just backs up and reinforces the angry, uneducated, cringe look.

        I hope you feel better, touch some grass, and learn that better methods of managing a democratic republic are available and have been developed. I’ll even start you off with some low effort reading:

            Since I’m helping out today, I’ll bite.

            They would have more success opening a conversation with someone if they forgo the insults:

            Okay then, Mr Tankie McRussianbot, let’s all hear what fucking genuis solution…

            Instead I suggest they try something like “I am not very familiar with alternatives to our two party system, what would you suggest instead?”

            I’m not their friend, I have no desire to be their friend, and honestly I was being restrained in my response b/c they were being such an asshole. But I figure it’s usually worth a try to respond with the information on the off chance they’ll read and change.

            If their feelings got hurt by the response to the angry, aggressive, insulting comment, then I’m not particularly bothered or interested.

            Hopefully, this helps them have better interactions with others in the future.

    Of course, Biden has also said that the US will defend Taiwan from Chinese attacks.

    Asserting Taiwan is independent before Taiwan does would just be causing trouble that would deteriorate relations with both sides.

      Yep, it’s extremely sensitive topic between the two country and if Taiwanese want proper independent, Taiwanese need to do it themselves democratically, not some old man from another side of the earth. If Biden were to say he support the independent, all de-escalation effort between US and China will go down the drain, and only gonna further escalate the tension between the two country.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    China previously warned that the election was critical, as voters could be choosing between war and peace.

    Biden’s stance reinforces the One China policy in recognizing Beijing’s claims that Taiwan is historically part of the mainland.

    After Biden met with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Nov., he said he “made clear” China should not interfere in Taiwan’s election.

    The U.S. announced Wednesday that it would be sending an unofficial delegation to Taiwan after the island conducted its election.

    It’s unknown how China will react to the new delegation and Lai’s win, but the country previously told the U.S. that it will “not make any concession or compromise” on Taiwan.

    Lai, who said he is open to talks with China, posted on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter thanking voters for electing him and pledged to uphold peace in the Taiwan Straight and to be “a force of good in the international community.”


    The original article contains 367 words, the summary contains 153 words. Saved 58%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

    After Biden met with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Nov., he said he “made clear” China should not interfere in Taiwan’s election. He said the U.S. maintains the One China agreement and he does not have plans to change it.

    Sure yeah. One China. One Taiwan. It’s all good.
