Stop boosting this imperialist warmonger.
Find someone better who lives in Maine
Or you know abandon the dead end of electorlism.
This is what's called a "pipe dream." You're welcome to rejoin the rest of us back in reality whenever you'd like
Ok so who is better?
Theyre not saying someone is better. Theyre a complete feckless idiot suggesting violence or some other moronic avenue which they of course won't be doing but instead asking someone else to do it.
Let's be honest. They're a troll spreading apathy. They aren't promoting any alternative, just doing nothing. Either they're a troll, trying to help the opponents, or they have been mislead by one of these trolls that has convinced them being the equivalent of empty air is the best thing they can do.
anti electoralism is a better strategy to get any goals actually harmful to the system
They believe in electoralism because they think the only other way to make change is trough a violence.
okay so you support imperialism and your opinion is invalid to me.
As you may know, America is the center of the world and the atrocities he committed doesn’t count because it’s against brown people. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You're right.
We should all be paying Hillary to make speeches and devastate whole-ass countries again.
That's what represents a good Dem, no?
No such thing as a good dem and just because hilary is bad doesn't make other imperialism okay
Go read his platform.
He is the only Dem who is publicly anti-war.
you go read his platform about increasing military benefits and initiating a "massive shipbuilding project"
I don't understand how making VA benefits better equates to imperialism
They just want military vets to suffer. Not because a lot of them were kids scooped up by a war machine with the promise of free college, no. It’s because their tenuous grasp of imperialism dictates that any and all actors are blood thirsty Americans eating Iraqi babies and drinking the blood of the afghans.
First, si vis pacem, para bellum. If you're defencless, you get invaded. If you want peace, you need to be ready to fight, to some extent. The current budget? Way too large, and he agrees. Shipbuilding though? We are shit at it now. We need to do better if we don't want to rely on China, which makes us a target. This includes commercial as well as military.
