    You’re right. I don’t care about what the Democrats want.

    I instead care about advancing Western Europe’s interests in the US.

      Why Western Europe’s interests as opposed to the world’s interests? Western Europe is doing relatively fine, it seems to me that I have a greater responsibility to look out for the global poor, especially those who are suffering due to US intervention.

        It’s because I have a high opinion of France, Spain, and Portugal. Especially Portugal.

          But why should US politics be oriented towards helping people who are already wealthy and secure instead of people who are poor and vulnerable, especially when their situation is our fault?

            It’s because I want a Western European style constitution instead. And I don’t speak Portuguese.

              Do you think that supporting the interests of Western Europe is going to result in the US adopting a Western European style constitution? How do you envision this playing out, exactly?

                An EU-backed Operation Historic Turn should the divide between US and Western European interests become severe enough. This would result in a new constitution favorable to Europe.

                  That sounds nice, but I’d rather place my hopes on a more realistic solution, such as mole people coming up and saving us.
