I’m an American. I’m a pacifist.
I’ve never murdered anyone. I’ve never even picked up a loaded gun.
I stand against foreign interference, foreign regime changes, and military intervention unless specifically requested by a defending nation.
I’m against the death penalty. I support common sense gun regulation. I vote for the political parties who will cause the least harm &/or death, globally.

…and you still call me a murderer? For being born here? Fuck you, OP.

I hope you don't mean the other side of bipartisan coin. And who the hell requested your military intervention without your consent manufacturing?

I vote for whichever candidate will do the least harm and support the most progressive policies. Bipartisanship isn’t a thing in the US when both sides are of the same right-wing coin.

Are you implying that, in the course of world history, no country has ever -while being attacked or invaded, asked another country (or specifically the US) for help with military defense? Ever? Even if there has never been a case of non-“manufactured” consent, then I would still support coming to the aid when/if it ever did happen.

Honestly, it seems to me that you just want to argue with me about it. Why? I’ve just stated that I’m an American pacifist and so I don’t like being accused of murder, and you want to turn it into a thing. Seems silly.
