    First you said Obama (who Hillary worked for) was worse than Trump because of Libya and Syria. That was proven wrong because Trump has killed more.

    Now it’s Trump is destroying America which Hillary wouldn’t do which is why you like Trump.

    So again, that means you’d choose Hillary over Bernie Sanders as a President for America because Hillary would destroy America more than Bernie Sanders.

    You must really hate Mamdani. Right?

      Bernie wasn’t about maintaining the empire. Which is why they made sure he can’t win.

      It’s got nothing to do with a particular person nor the destruction of a country. Just the empire’s reach and abilities.

      Once they couldn’t afford their military, their oldest colony, Ireland got sovereignty and freedom. UK didn’t cease to exist though.

      I think Mammdani means well but I don’t think he’s some messiah or saviour. He has to work within the system he’s elected in. He’ll make comprises that some of us might not like. He’s just a mayor.

        Which is exactly what you want. So by your logic of not liking Hillary that means you would dislike Bernie even more.

        He has to work within the system he’s elected in.

        On the small scale he is making NYC better Which again goes against your earlier statements that you love Trump because he is making America fail. So Mamdani, by helping America, would be the worst president possible.

            I’ve explained my reasoning multiple times. It’s getting monotonous repeating myself again and again.

            Donald is destroying the USian hegemony regardless of how you feel. That’s a good thing for the global majority.

            Edit: Added your relevant post-

            “I’ve explained multiple times how her competence at maintaining the empire is worse than Donald sabotaging it from the inside.”

            That was your start. Hillary would have destroyed the US less. Bernie even less so. A President Mamdani would improve the US so that the hegemony would continue indefinitely.

            There is no bad faith argument. You explicitly said that you preferred Trump because he was destroying America more than Hillary would have.

              Firstly, Mamdani can’t be a president. He’s, allegedly, muslim. He’s also a multimillionaire from a family of multimillionaires.

              Who did he pick for the head of police force as a mayor? Cuz that’s very telling. He played his cards right. Did all the performative nonsense to get attention. As a mayor, he’s not with the victims. He’s with the ruling class because he’s not “of the people” himself. Never have been. Have you seen him protest for Palestinian like he did back when he craved media attention? No. He got what he wanted.

              Bernie probably would’ve been the best president for the working class USians. I wish there’s a multiverse and he’s a president in another reality. He wasn’t interested in murdering innocent “swarthy foreigners”. He wasn’t for endless wars.

              I would’ve loved to see USA play nice with others. Did Britain cease to exist after losing their empire? My issue is with the evil empire, not with the random USians. I got family and people i care about in that country. I don’t want to see them suffer. I am also sick and tired of BILLIONS suffering because of the apathy and ignorance of USian morons such as my family who drink the “exceptionalism” Kool-Aid and don’t give a fk what their government does to innocent people all over the world.

              Idk how else to communicate my pov at this point. So, by all means, you guys go mourn the fall of the evil empire and I’ll be here celebrating it.
