The entire point I was making was that the US State operates at a level beyond what the President wants, especially in terms of foreign policy. It’s useless trying to compare Obama and trump. They both do what the cia, nsa etc want them to do, as is appropriate to the times. The difference comes out, marginally, in certain domestic/social issues, where Obama is much better (though still terrible).

the opposite is true. The one area where the executive has the most consolidated power is in the area of foreign policy and military engagements. Of course imperialist forces are pushing for war, the massive blob has an insatiable blood lust. However, the president and his party gets to chose which group of imperialists to back and how to back their interests specifically. That's where a competent and laser-focused president is dangerous to the world, whereas an idiotic one that keeps contradicting itself and is more inwardly antagonistic than outwardly causes massive strains and contradictions in the system.
domestic policy is basically controlled by the bourgeoisie, the president has no ability to pass legislation or control major portions of budgets.
You started the entire discussion by minimizing the vastly more marginalized, the global and colonized nations that make up the other 7 billion outside the core by stating obama was vastly better than trump. obama destroyed multiple nations. he went out of his way to expand imperialist destruction to hundreds of millions of people.
Trump barely tried, and where he did he failed hilariously (like in Venezuela :guaido: ). So I give him half a point for sucking at being evil.
You are a reactionary fascist larper trying to justify your hatred and indifference for the marginalised people of the world by any means necessary and I’m done talking to you

Also, that fascist reactionary “spectre of z” was literally minimising the suffering of the marginalised in the first world.

If you dismiss the suffering of women, bipoc, and lgbtq people then you are a fascist reactionary.

Your takes such shit. Why are you even here?
They’re not “prioritising” anything. They’re dismissing the suffering of a group of marginalised people while hiding behind another.
Socialism calls for support for all marginalised people.
