Now do one about USAID.
Both parties my ass.
USA destabilizes a nation through bombing them or funding reactionary rebels and then comes in as the oh-so graceful white saviour of USAID to help the "uncivilized savages" who can not run their own country for some reason
USAID was a CIA project to keep underdeveloped colonized nations dependant on scraps of charity that came with enormous strings attached. Cutting its funding did have harm in the immediate sense but ultimately it is an organization directly beholden to the imperialist aims of the US.
Not USAID??? Won't someone please think of the CIA front for regime-change operations?!

And here's something about another US program, since we're already shitting on things

USAID wasn’t what you think it was. It was CIA front, and Trump didn’t shut it down so much as move its operations to Marco Rubio’s State Department.
Isn't that what we all thought it was?
You're just handing out ammo for free.
Clueless lib
Kinda like USAID did for terrorists
You wouldn't need USAID if your terrorist state is not selling weapons to all groups in civil wars and all the countries you destroyed with your illegal wars and foreign intervention under both dems and republicans. Seeing the dem history they never fix what the republican break
Actually we would still need to fight malaria and tuberculosis even without imperialism.
Those diseases reappeared in many places where wars was started
It would certainly be an easier fight without imperialism
Prepare yourselves, "centrists" trying to target apathy will be chiming this both sides crap straight up until midterms.
It worked with Kamala.
Don't let it work again.
Right... "Both sides crap" its just some stupid little fringe issue like genocide, mass deportations, an ever-growing police state, wasting money on a border wall, not giving a fuck about a conservative Supreme Court, more money for the military, fucking up the climate, throwing marginalised groups under the bus, not giving a fuck about womens rights. Stuff like that. Apart from that stuff, they're not the same, that's true I suppose. And Trump is fat (ewww).
Also, very funny bit to call people who (correctly) point out that both parties are far right wing "centrists".
I suppose MLs are to the centre - right between Lenin and Mao (I would say Bukharin but I do not respect him.)
Supporting genocide which both party supported mean not supporting everything else. Your fascist paramilitary ice and your fascist state use Israeli tech to surveil and target minorities
I've heard all your clichés before
Funny to bring up ICE - the institution that's only capable of doing what it does because Obama drastically expanded its authority and budget. And Israeli tech? As opposed to when the democrats were in charge? Or do you think it wasn't fascist then? Do you think minorities walked unmolested until Trump turned America evil?
Shit, now im retreading it again. Just click the link.
You misunderstood me; I'm not defending Harris. I'm doing the opposite. Many of those shitty Democrats claim they care about Palestine, but then they just start bringing up everyone else—ICE, LGBT+, Latinos, etc. My comment was saying that they don't even actually care about those groups either.
You can see my other comments on the topic , it is all about showing how the usa is a terrorist state
Oh. I had trouble parsing your comment due to punctuation. Particularly the "not supporting anything else"
Poor Copmala, such a great domestic track record and definitely not from the both sides of genocide enablers.
It's good that you warn people about us.
They should really check for themselves what this great woman has achieved.

And that's before the unconditional genocide stuff.
Oh and this banger:
It's all a Trump/Russian/Chinese/NK/commie but also fascist psyop to divide our peaceful country and our 2 beautiful parties that love eachother!
Don't also forget when she was bragging about recieving support from Bushist clique that killed millions
Brilliant
Kamala was quite literally the same as Trump, from Palestine to the Iran war. The "problem" with Trump is that he is incompetent(which is good) and for you, the worst you people hate about Trump is he does not pretend to have a mask on like the Democrats are doing, and even then they themselves are barely keeping the mask on anymore.
"don't let it work again!" You say, while doing the exact same thing that failed last time
Always w the projection lol
Lol
Giving more importance to a foreign state and their genocide instead of her voters is what happened to Kamala. The fact that they are actually trying to push her through again is insane.
Really? I haven’t been paying attention (because why bother). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2028_Democratic_Party_presidential_primaries
Socialists aren’t “centrists,” and we’ve been saying this all along and will continue to. The election cycle has nothing to do with it, and it didn’t “work with Kamala,” because there are far too few of us to have had an appreciable effect on the 2024 election. Harris’ campaign lost due to its own unforced errors.
If socialists were important enough to make Kamala lose the election then maybe she should've fucking listened
