The US emits very little co2 in comparison to countries like China and under the terms of the agreement it left China off the hook pollution wise until at least 2030, while the US would have been hamstrung.

You don't have to entirely agree with them to recognize that fact.

It only applies to white, English speaking, Christian Americans from wealthy conservative households. Everyone else doesn't count, just got lucky and if they're thinking of criticising the master race they should "go back to where they come from". So, Trump counts as having achieved the American Dream and AOC doesn't, because she's the wrong colour and used to be poor. If you look at America through the prism of racism and don't assume that the rules apply equally, everything makes sense all of a sudden.

It was equally good when he came out condemning the presidents comments on telling american citizens to go home. It would be like lets say for example an american president telling an Irishman not born in America to go home despite him having citizenship. Dans the Man alright, I see why you like the cut of his jib
The problem with this line of thinking is that following it through to its conclusion means everyone just shuts up and says nothing. If AOC speaking up is going to turn off Midwest voters, 5hen she should be quiet. But McGrath speaking up would alienate coastal voters, so she should keep quiet. Biden speaking up might out off poorer voters, so he should be quiet. And sanders or warren speaking up might scare off wealthier voters and donors, so they should be quiet. And so on. There is in my opinion nothing wrong with disagreement within parties - the opposite actually. It shows that sides are being represented by their representatives, and leads to working toward resolution and something both sides can be happy with (ideally). I would take that every day of the week over what has happened to the republican party in the last 2-3 years, which has turned into an echo chamber where any even marginally dissenting voice is ocstracised and ousted, and must be destroyed by their supposed peers. Justin amash is a very recent example of this, only a week or two back.
Peddleslies, Manic, as two posters who, and I think I'm being fair here, are slow to criticise trump or at least try to put some balance into the debate here, what are your views on his tweets and subsequent doubling down?

They cut rates when they're concerned about growth & want to stimulate the economy. So, if Powell is lining up rate cuts you might get an artificial spike from the market but its usually a sign of not so great times on the horizon
