No, I literally described 9/11 as creating the insane political environment that would allow for stupid decisions like that to fly. Let me know when you stop being an obtuse ml clown.

If you don’t understand how Iraq never would’ve happened without 9/11 then I don’t think you’re in a position to call anyone uninformed.

Name one event in China in the last 30 years that remotely compares to 9/11.

Notice how I said “most were justified”, meaning not all of them were, and you went and cherry picked Iraq? Which is obviously the one I’d place in the unjustified group. That’s called being a bad faith clown or illiterate.

The difference is a republitard administration + 9/11 created the insane environment for stupid decisions to be made with support. What’s China’s/Russia’s excuse?

You named countries where wildly varying forms of US military action were taken for different reasons, most of those being justified and legally backed, none for purposes along the lines of annexation/subjugation. You think China’s bullying of Taiwan (seeking annexation), Philippines…doesn’t constitute imperialism because they haven’t pulled the trigger yet? Uyghurotta be kidding me

Are you trying to portray Trump foreign policy as the norm for the US while also comparing it to Russia/China’s consistent imperialism over decades?

CCP never had a democratic claim on China

Wasn’t aware that the US was looking to annex North Korea and Cuba lmao

You probably love bump stocks because Trump banned them huh. Even if there are better alternatives to ACA, until the political climate in the US allows for that, it’s still better than nothing.

Even ACA, the hEriTaGe CrEaTioN, is constantly being successfully shot down by conservatives. What chance in hell do you think there is of implementing and sustaining a socialist alternative? Until the country stops being braindead enough to elect MAGA-level candidates, it won’t happen.

Tell me how many people are getting hurt by republicans cutting it, then cry about “gift to insurance companies” again. The kind of take that only people too privileged to not need it would have.

Tbf Obama also did more for the working class than Trump ever did or will. ACA alone covers that. The issue is brainlets getting brainwashed by rightwing propaganda.

Biden did more for the working class than Trump ever did or will. There are just too many “freethinking” conspiratard clowns who are easily scammed by republican lies. Unlucky

I know people who still say “both sides are the same”…it’s almost 2026, get me off the planet

Because “you mean the corrupt criminal traitor rapist?” didn’t quite hit enough

I’m disengaging here - you are free to disagree with my perspective

Must be hard having no evidence for your claims. Keep living in fantasy land.

Maybe link sources like I’m doing. Cuz all I see is crying and coping. I’m sure that the wapo also failed to see what a random on lemmy sees so clearly…

Inform yourself.

The 2016 Democratic primary wasn’t rigged by the DNC, and it certainly wasn’t rigged against Sanders. But Democratic elites did try to make Clinton’s nomination as inevitable, as preordained, as possible. And the party is still managing the resentment that engendered in voters. “Once somebody doesn’t trust you,” sighs Buckley, the New Hampshire Democratic chair, “it’s very hard to get that trust back.”

Who never got a chance in a general election because he got ratfucked 2x in a row by the Democratic Party et. al.

This is just major debunked cope. People seem to forget, but when Trump ran for the first time, the whole “establishment” hated him, both left and right. Hell, even the heritage foundation didn’t want him. Until he got too big to ignore, he won through sheer brute force popularity. Bernie just lost the primaries to Hillary…if you think America has any capability right now to see anyone to the left of Bernie in power, you’re just delusional.

Current America would rather take an old bumbling corrupt criminal rapist(pedo too?) brainlet instead of a qualified intelligent prosecutor/AG because a woman of colour is a bit too much. Don’t make the mistake of thinking your niche is anywhere near the norm.

Kamala was the opposite of radical

She wasn’t portrayed/perceived that way at all, you understand that right? You and everyone else with some political awareness might think that, but the magats and even a shitload of “centrists” (quotes because most have been captured by the magats without being aware) think she was radical.

…why do you believe that?

E.g. Bernie. The most milquetoast “radical” tested

America only has an appetite for far right radicals atm, clearly.
