The Democrats would’ve, at a bare minimum, left USAID slower. They wouldn’t have sent Musk in to immediately halt payments, they would’ve just removed the funding from the next congressional budget. Aid organisations would’ve had warning and people wouldn’t have been suddenly cut off from their HIV medication.
Leaving the WHO is not something even the rich are really calling for. It’s a conspiracy theorist thing that Trump is pushing on a personal level. Nobody in the imperial periphery is really following him either.
I’m not going to bother responding to the last part. Unless it’s easier to organize under the GOP, it’s irrelevant. Hell the communist revolution is besides my point entirely. All I’ve been trying to say is that more people die when a Republican president is elected, and even if that might usher in a communist revolution you’d still be gambling with lives by choosing that.
Began a campaign of drone assassinations in the Middle East and Africa, in which 90% of those killed were not the intended targets, but innocent civilian bystanders, including women, children, and US citizens. 1. Drone strikes are used by the military and the CIA to hunt down and kill people the Obama administration has deemed — through secretive processes, without indictment or trial — worthy of execution. He authorized 10 times more drone strikes than George W Bush, 2. The Obama assassination program is detailed in the drone papers.

You are reduced to splitting hair about hypotheticals. You might want to try moving on to other arguments. Assuming you have any left.

Oh, dodging inconvenient arguments now are we? Your “point” was that it’s supposedly easier to organize under the Democrats so the fact that it isn’t is absolutely relevant.
This is just sad at this point. You reached a level of throwing-everything-at-the-wall-in-the-hope-something-will-stick that probably does more harm than good to your position in the minds of peoples reading this thread.

Why? Why do you say this? You keep getting trapped in this idea of the DNC being “more moral” in actions, despite their actions still propping up imperialism and protecting it.

Trump cannot unilaterally do whatever he wants. The bourgeoisie as a class is not in lock-step, there are some that want to stay in the WHO, but the idea that a country can truly be unilaterally led by someone with no class backing is Great Man Theory.

I would never advocate for pushing for the GOP, as that’s accelerationism, but it is easier to organize under the GOP. Democrats get more millitant when they see the failures of the DNC to resist the GOP, as they are on the same side, the side of capital.
Hell the communist revolution is besides my point entirely.
Yes, because you don’t actually want to end imperialism. That’s why you like the DNC.
All I’ve been trying to say is that more people die when a Republican president is elected, and even if that might usher in a communist revolution you’d still be gambling with lives by choosing that.
500,000 people die per year because of a bipartisan system of imperialism. My point is not that people dying under the GOP ushers in a communist revolution, but that both parties are aligned in materially supporting imperialism.

The Democrats famously adhere to American norms. Do you think they’d suddenly start bypassing congress and appoint a special government employee to go around causing chaos? They’re entire identity is “we’d love to, but we can’t because of congress”.
And they’ll suddenly throw away that excuse that they’ve relied on for decades, just to spite the world’s developing countries by cutting USAID funding a few months sooner?

From 1 democratic president ago:
After winning the Nobel peace prize, Obama dropped an average of 30k bombs / year (80 per day) during his presidency, mostly on Muslim countries, 2, 3. In 2016 alone, dropped 26,171 bombs in the Middle East and North Africa, up 3000 from the previous year. The countries bombed include Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya, and Somalia.

You also admitted to not reading my comments, so why do you expect people to take your arguments seriously in return?
I literally just explained.
You did not. You said what you think they would do, but it seems to stem from your insistence on their moral superiority.
The Democrats famously adhere to American norms. Do you think they’d suddenly start bypassing congress and appoint a special government employee to go around causing chaos? They’re entire identity is “we’d love to, but we can’t because of congress”.
The DNC uses those excuses to not push for radical positive change, not because they actually believe that.
And they’ll suddenly throw away that excuse that they’ve relied on for decades, just to spite the world’s developing countries by cutting USAID funding a few months sooner?
Not for spite, to protect profits. You’re relying on moralism over what actually motivates the genocidal imperialist parties.
