I tried to copy it but interestingly the character limit here is less than reddit's and it is a long post.

Basically most of it is arguing that a Trump win is better for anti-imperialists. A position I agree with. I think they present some compelling arguments.

    I think it’s because a lot of how the Dems frame things is criticizing Trump for not being tough enough on Venezuela, Biden saying he would have bombed Iran after they retaliated to Trumps assassination(I might be pulling a dumb and confusing Iran and Syria), etc. They posture that he is not tough enough, implying that they would do more.

    Bad things still happen under Trump, it’s not that he’s good, it’s just a lower priority for him than fucking over blue states and immigrants and enriching himself and his associates. I’m not super informed about this so willing to be wrong here, but I don’t know if we can say for sure that Trump expanded drone warfare more than another politician would have. Obama expanded it an unprecedented amount at the time and I think it’s entirely possible that we’re continuing on the same curve as the technology is “improved”.

    The coup in Bolivia is something that would still happen if Hilary won. Maybe it would be someone a little less extremist than Áñez, but I think they’d have more of an interest in keeping the coup regime in power.
