Get out there and vote. If that doesn’t work, vote harder. If it doesn’t get better, we’ll try again in a couple of years, where we’ll vote again. Repeat this indefinitely, and you have democracy. Simple!

Yes. Uncle Ho was active in Vietnamese nationalist/independence movements long before the Vietnam War (The Second Indochina War).

“Minh found himself in Paris with further Vietnamese nationalists in 1919 around the time that Europe was sorting peace terms at the end of the First World War. It was one the 14 points pieced together by US President Woodrow Wilson which inspired Ho Chi Minh to lead his nation to freedom from the French colonial rule. Wilson wrote of how for Europe to rebuild it needed to focus on self-determination. Minh used Wilson’s visit to Paris to try and get the attention of the President to ask for support against the French colonial rule. He was ignored.”

Woodrow Wilson was a real asshole. If I remember correctly, he was the one who gave Comrade Ho Chi Minh the cold shoulder when he expressed his interest about Vietnamese independence to him.
