"Competitor? Adversary? Enemy?"
@SusanPage posed that question about 🇨🇳's relationship with 🇺🇸 during #VicePresidentialDebate.
Are such distinctions useful and do any of the terms accurately describe 🇺🇸-🇨🇳 relations?
Let's break it down.

Let's break it down.

To start, notice what were NOT options given by Page:
"friends, partners, allies"
(though Page did acknowledge that 🇨🇳 could be a "potential partner" for addressing 🇰🇵 and climate change)
So we're starting with the presumption of a "confrontational" relationship.

From the standpoint of foreign policy discourse, there can be value in saying that someone is a "competitor" (competition is "healthy") rather than an "enemy" (who is "evil"). @EdwardGoldberg makes this distinction in a piece for @Salon

Harris Lie # 1
Biden will eliminate #Trump Tax Cut.
Harris said no.
Biden said yes.
Tax cuts are not for the big corporates only. My family owns a small business and it definitely helped us.

Trump didn’t denounce the KKK & White Supremacy. He called them “Fine people” & “He told them to stand down”.
POTUS #Trump disavowed both groups numerous times.
He told the #ProudBoys to stand down. PB are multiracial.

I’ll be live-tweeting the debates tonight. I don’t know why you wouldn’t want to watch, but in case you don’t have the stamina, I’ve got your back. 🥰
I’ve never live-tweeted anything before, and I’ve never made a Twitter thread. What could possibly go wrong? 😆
