    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.

      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.

      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”.
