Biden is not a progressive. At all!

        The Koch Dream is to devolve the US into a thousand libertarian city-states all in the grip of some overarching corporate oligarchy.

        But Trump illustrates why that plan sucks. You're always one mayoral election away from a Milosovec doing a Bosnian War or a Hutu coup doing a Rwandan Genocide. The NAFTA project (nevermind the Hemispheric Common Market) doesn't work after political balkanization. We can't maintain ties with Canada, much less Saudi Arabia, if the states crack up.

        A break up today just means a Bismarkian (or Hitlerian) unity project tomorrow, with all the horror that would entail.

      Trump let Saudi Arabia carry out a genocide, attempted coups, antagonized Iran and NK, droned more people than Obama. Trump is hardly any better

      the harm reduction candidate, if there ever could be such a thing, was trump

      :-/

      The guy that snapped up John Bolton and made Michael Flynn a National Security Adviser? No.

      They're all ghouls. But you're fixating on the devils you know and glazing over the devils you don't.

          They’re totally all ghouls but both got fired and didn’t accomplish much of what they would have like to have done if they had more wiggle room.

          We're in year 4 of the Trump Presidency and we've already seen a Bolivian military Coup, an electoral coup in Honduras, a Brazilian fascist begin ethnic cleansing of indigenous people, several efforts at toppling Venezuela's government... that's the shit we know of today.

          Mike Pompeo remains at the State Department and continues to bring in scum to apply the American Sidam Touch south of the border.

          There really is no harm reduction in the imperial core, more like harm relocation

          It's a losers game. But it's absurd to pretend the current President is somehow benefiting Latin America, relative to Biden.

        Your point is true and completely right, but considering how Bolton jumped ship to the Dems (who really encourage him just as much), it's somewhat hampered as of now.

      If you think Trump is the lesser of two evils you are literally a stupider version of someone who thinks Biden is the lesser of two evils.

    not even 2 weeks since winning and this is how arrogant the Democratic party is. They're going to put the most hated and unpopular Dem politician in the country in Biden's cabinet lol. They're just begging to get beat to a pulp for midterms and then lose 2024.
