Vote buying. Cool.
I guess that the residents will need that cash for their new insurance premiums.
What’s the issue with vote buying? They aren’t American citizens, so if Trump offers them money because they’re fed up with being governed by Denmark, then what’s the concern?
Seems problematic to me, but we just saw Elon do it in PA, so I’ll let you be on the side of ‘vote buying is good’.
Do you not see yourself as a progressive?
Generally, no. But you’d have to define what a progressive is, and I suspect you’ll have some difficulty doing so.
Consider it from this perspective. Trump is presenting an opportunity for a population that is predominantly Inuit (people of color) which has faced marginalization and oppression, from a 90% white oppressor coutry. However, if you believe that it's in the best interest of the Inuit people of Greenland to remain under the oppression of Denmark, a nation predominantly composed of white individuals, then that's your perspective to hold.
Therefore your proposal is for the Inuit people of Greenland to come under the dominion of the US, a nation predominantly composed of white individuals, with
even less of a cultural tie to those people than Denmark. Got it.
Yeah, I’m not sure that’s much of a ‘solution’.
However, I believe Trump is adopting a more progressive position than you are …
Knowing how you feel about progressives, Hound, then I’d expect that you would soon lend your hand in the political movement to remove such a horrifyingly progressive politician from power. Get to it. ; )
