Indian elections are actually elections. No leader or party, even the Congress right after the freedom struggle, gets over 50 percent of the vote. Modi's BJP got 37 percent in 2019, and a bit less this year.
India has multiple, powerful parties across state and national level – poor division of seats within alliances is what holds most back.

With poll predictions Majority supporters become relaxed and there is less drive to go and vote. Whereas opposite happens with those predicted to loose. Same during Hillary/Trump. Modi same thing happened with 400 plus campaign and projections pro modi voters didn’t turn up compared to opposition. U will see vote share increased but it didn’t translate to seats.

They are not out of the woods yet I’m afraid. Modi is likely to remain in power, but no longer have a majority government and instead needs a coalition. Better but still not good. Hindu nationalists has been growing throughout the country thanks to Modi’s party (which used to be only popular around his base in Gujarat).
[India assassinated a Sikh opposition leader while he lived in exile in Canada.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardeep_Singh_Nijjar). Also, there is not a lot of English translation of Indian political speeches published in the West, but one that made the news recently was one where Modi said [he was sent by God](https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/05/28/india/india-narendra-modi-chosen-by-god-intl-hnk). I think politicians should be selected to rule by the people, not by gods.
He will still be leader of the country for the next few years, even if his party party no longer has absolute control…

They took over and used the following central government agencies to harass and jail every politician and common man who dared to criticize the government. They used the following agencies like a puppet:
Income Tax & Enforcement Directorate (IRS of India) ,
CBI (FBI of India), Law system,
ENTIRE NEWS MEDIA (They made Billionaire Gautam Adani buy the only news channel which was left leaning)
They paid money to state politicians and broke many local parties into two, thus weakening all the local state parties and making BJP the strong one
They also increased taxes , increased taxes on essential items like masks and sanitary pads during COVUD outbreak
They almost cancelled out pensions for government employees which was the main USP for government jobs in India
They introduced Agniveer scheme in Military recruitment which took out the pension and job safety aspect out from the military which many youth from poor socio economic strata relied on.

I mean his party is still the single biggest party in the election with 240 out of 543 seats. The next biggest has 99 seats. His party is just 32 seats short of an absolute majority of 272 but if you include their allies, they already have 293 seats and will be forming the government. Unless the allies decide to change allegiance last minute.
What is different this time is that in the previous 2 elections BJP alone had over 272 seats and didn't even need allies to form the government. This time they need others. That's why this result is so interesting

lol I think you fail to understand the magnitude of the population of India; there are more people who live in India than in China, close to 1.5 billion. That's 19% of the entire world or thereabouts - 1 in every 5 people alive.
India has about 2.5 million people who emigrate every year. That's not even 2 tenths of a percent of their population...
It may seem like a lot of people wherever you are, but that's probably because wherever you are has a comparatively low population / growth, good salary opportunities, and an immigration policy friendly to those with specific educational background.

So, in way less than all the places, agreed?
Apparently this was done in an effort to win more votes, so also in enough time for him to lose more votes.
See this typical news report of the time [here](https://www.scmp.com/week-asia/politics/article/3264747/india-modis-claim-god-bestowing-him-energy-sparks-ridicule-rivals-memes) and quoted below
>In India, Modi’s claim of ‘God bestowing him’ with ‘energy’ sparks ridicule from rivals, memes
>Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi claims that he has received inspiration from a ‘non-biological’ source in a TV interview
>Modi’s increasing invocation of God is a last-ditch attempt to win more votes in the ongoing election, analysts say
As the Indian population becomes more educated, the lies of 'religion' are being realised

Also, Turkey is a huge part of NATO, both strategically and militarily. There is no NATO without Turkey.

Imo you expect history to repeat exactly. I personally believe that our financial institutions are unsustainable in and of themselves and are a bad judge of superpowers. We're not in the same situation as we were before and the US's power, again fully imo, are dependent on funneling ridiculous amounts of money into the war machine, and that's when they're fighting people with Soviet era AK's. A world war on every front against proper enemies would absolutely shatter the US economy like it did everyone else. The winner who collects the debts is the winner and the US get that twice because they didn't have to fight the whole fight and we're rarely directly attacked. WWIII wouldn't go that way. Not saying it will go any particular way, or even happen, but it's possible and these days looking likely. "American exceptionalism" isn't going to save them this time I'm afraid.

Not exactly but I expect it to rhyme at least.
As for a world war on multiple fronts wasn’t that literally just World War 2 where we decided that nobody else got to have a navy? What exactly is stopping a repeat of that? Russia? Don’t make me laugh. China? A larger threat to be sure but one that is also hemmed in by a ring of U.S. allies that will surely be armed to the teeth with short range naval drones in any conflict.
No, there will be no invasion of North America, and again if ballistic attacks happen the world ends. So why worry?

I only quoted the report , stone throwing is obviously still a dangerous activity and people can get seriously injured from them and people will get arrested for it. Though again Hamas and PIJ are very active in the west bank and shouldn't be dismissed.
For perspective on according to Shin Bet data in the last three months there were a total of 76 significant attacks and 223 more significant attacks were stopped by Shin Bet preemptively.

Right, because Israel didn't touch Palestine before 10/7
Let's see what the IDF has done so far this century. 2008 Israel murdered 1500 civilians, with a third being children. In 2014, Israel murdered another 1500 civilians, with over a third being children.
10/7 is the first time Israel got the short end of the stick, so now it's ok to murder 35,000 civilians in an attempt to "get rid of Hamas". Seems like you think Israeli lives are worth 35:1 to Palestinian lives?
Oh and you bring up rape? Yeah IDF has been doing the same thing (https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israeli-soldiers-play-with-gaza-womens-underwear-online-posts-2024-03-28/)

What’s hilarious about your comparison is that it’s 100% correct, but you’ve come to the wrong conclusion from it.
The CCP brutalizes its Chinese citizens, murders and wrongfully imprisons them, indoctrinates them into a false and evil ideology, and stays in power by terrorizing its populace into submission. Hating the CCP is not racism against Chinese people. **In fact, if you actually support Chinese people, you would hate the CCP.**
Similarly, Hamas brutalizes its Palestinian citizens, murders and wrongfully imprisons them, indoctrinates them into a false and evil ideology, and stays in power by terrorizing its populace into submission. Hating Hamas is not racism against Palestinian people. **If you actually support Palestinian people, you would hate Hamas.**

I directly quoted the headline. The headline is "Biden says 'every reason' to believe Netanyahu is prolonging war for political gain." I then said that it essentially means the same thing as if it said "every reason for people to draw the conclusion that Netanyahu is prolonging war for political gain."
At no point did I directly quote Biden.
