    better question, for who would Trump be less dangerous?

    The vast majority of people on the planet, actually. Trump is incompetent at US foreign policy - ie, he is incompetent at imperialism. The US position in the middle-east, for instance, weakened dramatically under Trump. This is a good thing, overall.

    there is no 3ed option in America

    So I take it you are willing to admit that you don’t exist in a democratic society?

      ah, I see where your misconceptions lie, you live in lala land, you don’t actually care, you have heard tankie shit and decided to chug until the bottle is empty, you claim trump is bad at imperialism because what? he was friends with the great people’s republic of North Korea? no, looking at trumps track records he was much more violent and brutal in his foreign policy, he aided and supported the rise of governments that make American imperialism seem benign by comparison.

      and no, while there are only 2 realistic options in the American political race for president, there are a ton of ways you could actually get involved to make a difference.

      then again, please enlighten me as to the post Stalinist democracies in the red fascist nations that you tankies all can’t stop boot licking for.

        Just admit that you are perfectly fine with the US slaughtering brown people, liberal - as long as the blood doesn’t stain the white picket fences in your pristine suburbs.

        Then you don’t have to go around accusing people using terms you don’t know the meaning of, okay?

          Let me just grab the magic wand of making the majority of American voters not support Israel real quick, oh wait, that doesn’t exist now does it. along with the magic spell of remove the fascist ethno-theocrats from the Israeli government, oh wait, that ALSO doesn’t exist.

          Fact is, no matter what you, or I vote, it’s not going to stop the IDF from slaughtering civilians in Gaza, but one is just tacitly accepting it, the other is demanding the IDF “finish them”.

          And yes, I know what tankies are, and I know what tankie talking point sound like (because it would literally kill you to use non-tankie vernacular), I also know that like all tankies out there, you have fundamentally blinded yourself to the actions of despotic brutal dictators because you have bought into the idea that the USA is the worlds sole antagonist, the only nation with agency (for some reason) and that anything bad you hear/see about China and Russia must be anti-communist imperialist propaganda, a stance only made worse by the fact that both china and Russia are currently engaging in a literal Colonial conquest of Africa/Middle East

            but one is just tacitly accepting it,

            That’s really the only thing you liberals are politically competent at, aren’t you?

            I have to say… you’re the first liberal on here that has actually had the backbone to admit it - I guess that’s… something.

            And yes, I know what tankies are

            No you don’t, liberal. The fact that you cannot even tell the difference between an anarchist and a Marxist-Lenninist tells me that your competence in this area is pretty much at Average Liberal Standard.

            And I trust that I don’t have to explain to you how low a bar that actually is?
