        Flattening every conversation about U.S. politics to “you idiot, the U.S. does horrible things to other countries!” is stupid. No one here is arguing with you on that. We have a hundred posts about U.S. crimes abroad, we can talk about what goes on inside the U.S., too.

                “Democrats have done a few good things” is not remotely the same as “Democrats are good,” especially when I go out of my way a bunch of times to say Democrats are not good.

                You know what critical support is? You know what the CPC line on Stalin is (70% good, 30% bad)? Then you know “they’ve done some things good” is not a blanket endorsement, even if a person has done a whole hell of a lot more good than Democrats ever have.

                    You’re just doing reddit shit. Not engaging the substance of a comment in favor of dumb little quips and nitpicks.

      Not sure what you’re on about. The comment is clearly at liberals in this thread trying to appeal to “benefits” for the “working class” without acknowledging many of these “benefits” come at the cost of the exploited global south. Thinking that the working class struggle starts and ends at one nation’s borders and is not part of an international struggle is braindead at best, fascist at worst. Not sure why I’m explaining this to someone named @MarxMadness.

        No one is saying this. People are seeing the U.S. context and responding to that, then others are ignoring the context to argue with them.

            Bullshit like yours makes this place more like reddit, not less.
