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.)
Obviously I think people should care more about those they have everyday material relationships with. "The People" are actual people, not some haughty lib ideal, and maintaining their social and cultural relations is key to fighting capitalist alienation. Nations, however, don't exist. Cultures exist, cities and regions exist. The nation is an illusion.
If she wants to vote for Biden to save her Trans and Black friends some small extra bit of harm, cool, I can't shame her for that. But at least acknowledge that small bit of comfort comes at the cost of actual, real dead children and screaming parents somewhere far away.
