No. Clearly the solution is to continue to abandon anyone outside the US because they don’t matter. /s

Good to know our American citizens mean fuck-all to you then.

But more directly: HOW are you going to work on it? Who is gonna do that? The capitalist/imperialist who you’ve pledged your vote to unconditionally?

It's not unconditional. If you root yourself in reality for a few minutes, you'll see we have three choices:

  • Mask-off Fascism
  • Imperialism/Neoliberalism that appears to at least kinda court progressives.
  • Burn it all down, fucking the most amount of people in the process.

Which are you picking? I don't see any actionable grand solutions or saints coming from you and your ilk. I do not have answers on how to fix it, and I doubt :checks watch: 6 days before the election is enough time to figure it out.

To be abundantly clear, I do not like these choices. None of them. The only one I can stomach is the second one, and there does not appear to be any viable alternatives right now.

Fucking over people outside of the US is a short term strategy that means ever more people are waiting for a chance to take the US down.

Don't expect all the vassal nations to come to the US's aid, because the more bridges get burnt and the more the US looks like a hypocritical bully the more the fall will hurt when it comes.
