i like that the op ignore the mass protests in bolivia, the class between the MAS supporters and the military, the arming of the protesters, that MAS is an actual labour party that actually cares about is people, and most importantly MAS organized the protests instead of denouncing them, link

    They’re arguing that Biden is the lesser evil

    Which means they're not portraying him as an ally. That was my original point.

    which again, is only true if non-American lives are worth less than American lives

    That assumes Biden will be worse for non-Americans than Trump, which is highly debatable. For example, if you're Iranian, and you went from a significant diplomatic agreement under Obama to nearly being invaded by Trump, you might think Biden is the lesser evil.

        Here's what I initially responded to:

        Go read the moronic comments in that reddit thread [about "thinking Joe Biden is your ally in any way shape or form"]

        I pointed out that this did not seem to be the common sentiment, and gave a high-profile example of someone saying Biden sucks (i.e., is not an ally). We should not be mischaracterizing other leftsists' positions.

        I'm not going to debate you about semantics or about every other comment in that thread.
