The Dread Slender Gnome on Nostr: Vance bringing the problems up in a speech does not amount to the U.S. right ...
Vance bringing the problems up in a speech does not amount to the U.S. right replacing European democracy with anything.
And again, it really should be clear by now, that I think it's up to Europe, Europeans and European leaders to do something about the decline of democracy in Europe. And I thought I made it clear that the reaction I've seen to Vance's speech is in my opinion the worst possible reaction to it, if the goal is to breathe new life into European democracy.
You keep telling me I don't understand the U.S. Well it seems to me that you don't understand the European political scene, which is what I'm really talking about here. See, two can play the condescension game.
You're not going to browbeat me into agreeing with you, nor am I going to retract my statement. And condescension, cheap shots, generalities and odd pivots aren't going to change that.
