    Chauvinism aside, this would be a terrible time to vote for a third party, and by no means am I trying to present it as “morally superior”. You’re trying to fix a broken system, and I’m trying to keep it intact long enough to prevent it from exploding and killing even more people.

    After we get Trump out of office, we can start dismantling western chauvinism.

      “I’m trying to keep the murder machine going long enough to stop it from murdering people!”

      Fucking liberal ideology in a nut shell.

      After we get Trump out of office, we can start dismantling western chauvinism.

      You got Trump out of office, and instead of “dismantling western chauvinism”, you instead decided to actively engage in the worst genocide of the 21st century, with such determination that you were even willing to let Trump win the election rather than stop.

      You’re not “keeping it intact to prevent harm.” You’re keeping it intact because you benefit from it.

      The US led system isn’t something you stabilize and then dismantle later. It only exists through massive violence. Every extra year you preserve it is more sanctions, more bombs, more dead people.

      And “after Trump” is always the line. It was “after Reagan”, “after Bush,” then “after Trump,” then it will be “after the next Republican.” There is always a new emergency to justify doing nothing to even attempt to slow the immisiration machine.

        These people have literally expunged their own memories of the fact that there was already an “after Trump”. And they used it to double down in American brutality before letting Trump back into office.

            Yup. You’re also a tankie if you can predict what’s going to happen in more than a week from the present moment.
