Yes this is about Contra, but the fact she literally only considered US citizens in her analysis is telling. Like not a single argument about foreign policy, or concern about people 30 centimetres over the border occurred to her.

And all the Dem Socialist reply guys are arguing against her on her terms. Like fucking hell, are you Internationalists or not? Fuck how large the US left is, you're fighting for the Whole Left! I understand revolt in the Imperial core is both important and difficult, but jfc!

I'm afraid I'm going third-worldist here (for values of third world that include, like, Germany and Spain.)

      Matt Yngelsias: Nnnyoho! I recommend a full suite of minor policy shifts in order to enact transformational change! And if anyone tells you that isn't sufficient, just tell them that twitter isnt real life and that people in the real world shouldnt be stymied by petty concerns like climate change! Please forgive my cheerleading of the Iraq invasion! I explained in a 2006 blog post that that was how you became cool as a young radical democrat in the early 2000s.
