So your take is Americans should have even less control over foreign policy than they already have and they should do so by not holding politicians accountable for foreign policy during elections? Why else would you propose politicians ignore the public on foreign policy issues? It seems like you want less democracy.

Being a leftist in America means two things to me. One is that it means I hate it when Im right, and two is I'm right more often than I want to be.

Covid wasnt the status quo and it made rich people richer than any other disaster in history. If you think the status quo is the only way the rich make money you'd be mistaken.

Sneering? I genuinely wished you well in your new country and simply asked you to leave us alone. If you're not going to fight, you have little right to tell others how to do it. You're simply yelling from the sidelines at people you insist on not working with. The very people you want to bash are the ones who go out of their way to protect people the cops wont.

In my area when the local fash org dropped stacks of hateful rhetoric flyers specificly on just the doorstep of a trans person they doxed, the police were not the ones who sent somone to walk the perimiter day and night for a week. Its was the group of people you insist aren't fighting the way you'd fight.

It takes a special kind of entitlement to think a group of people you do not wish to help should act the way you want them too. You wouldn't expect the government to listen to people who don't show up to vote, why would a group you dont show up to listen to you?

So your take is America shouldn't be a Democracy when it comes to how we interact with other counties? Bold.

Then you really have no ground to bash revolutonaries since you no longer even have stake in the fight your critisizing them over. Enjoy your new country I won't tell you how to be a citizen there, and you can leave the rest of us who cannot afford to flee to fight the fascism however we can.

Then I suppose you're left with no options but to continue voting for one of the two parties that got us here. But if you're going to critisize revolutionaries then say you have no better ideas and are not trying, you look like a sports fan who thinks they could have caught the ball the athlete dropped.

If you think a revolution is a simple as revolting, I encourage you to go do that instead of insisting others make the world better for you. You clearly must know something no other leftist has figured out with how simple your revolution plan is.

How do you think revolution works? You cannot simply violently take to the streets whenever you feel like it. You need to build up critical amounts of support or you'll just be considered terrorists at best. A poll a while ago showed more Americans want a party to the right of repiblicans than ones who want one to the left of democrats. There are less leftists in America than any other political group and we have to fight against the entire US medias narrative to build that critical support. I love the open hostility to the smallest political group in America for not being able to save the whole fucking country with violence.

Do you really wonder why people dont post meetups for revolutionary activity or other incriminating things on a public forum that has an explicit no violence rule?

Or my favorite "we shouldn't hold trump accountable for crimes because we need to beat him at the ballot box"

Hakeem Jeffries should feel like an idiot for that one.

The Philippines elected the son of the most brutal dictator in their history. So im really not sure about that.
