    I’m just supporting the lesser of two evils.

    These countries aren’t perfect, but I’m not going to let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

    Isn’t that what you keep telling me to do?

        Yeah, no shit. Imperialist superexplotation of the rest of the world has allowed the US to enrich itself beyond any empire in the history of the world. That comes at a cost! The US is great if you live in the US, but is it great for the children that mine the US’s cobalt? Is it great for its prison population, which is the largest in the world? Is it great for the massive undocumented labor force that grows the US’s food?

        The US “greatness” exists as a great expense for everyone else on Earth. The US can only be great if everyone else suffers.
