We've got a grand total of two self-proclaimed democratic socialists in government. The other several hundred representatives in the Democratic party are all unashamedly hyper-capitalist, and have very often voted with Republicans. It's just a different set of corporations that pulls the Democratic party's strings, as opposed to the obvious oil and weapons lobbyists that pull the Republican party's strings. Center-right versus far-right, the illusion of choice leading us slowly down an increasingly authoritarian path.
Not sure what reality you're living it, I hope it's fun, but the left is either far left or close to it. And most hate capatalism. Sure, there are
some moderate dems close to the center, but they are far and few between and are usually ostracized by their own party viciously.
Don't play dumb. Right-wing media does nothing but bitch about imaginary "cultural Marxism." You could probably recite a lot of their talking points by memory for me.
Oh yeah, because it doesn't exist right now in other parts of the world or in our very own government and seeping in our society. It just doesn't exist as long as we plug our ears and go "la la la I can't hear you I can't see you". You're lack of self awareness is astonishing, but I've seen if from others here so it's not surprising. I should stop trying to argue with people that have manure for brains and refuse to grow more intelligent, that's my problem.
We're keeping a presence in the region, yes, a presence we already had. You'd know we're not sending troops to Ukraine if you had actually read the article.
We're sending them to the border, that's close enough to get involved.
That was the best TLDR I could make for your statement. I didn't even name anyone here specifically when referring to "right-wing racists," but your reflexive instinct to jump to their defense is quite telling.
It's called "implying", ever heard of that, when you don't outright say something but allude to it? Need a dictionary too now? I hope that pic wasn't of yourself now, because if you are a baby, it would explain a lot. Stupid people also hate reading, which some gave me the same response as you with long posts. Don't want long answers, then don't post, but don't bitch when you can't read beyond two sentences. I can make it shorter if it pleases you, if I feel like it's necessary to,
The richest person on Earth, if we're counting dark money, is Vladimir Putin. Though yes, if Trump had won the election (god forbid), he would've told the world that Ukraine already belongs to Russia and let Vlad waltz right in and take it. So it really is a flip of the coin in terms of how the US will respond to crises like this...our democracy is far from stable at the moment.
I don't care if Russia wants Ukraine or not or if Putin wants to take it. They can fight it out themselves for all I care and not involve us. Those two places can burn for all I care as long as it doesn't involve us. I don't like Russia, I don't like Putin, and I really just have zero interest in Ukraine. I'd rather focus on our problems first before getting involved outside our own broken country. And thank god Trump didn't in, otherwise inflation would be high, our borders would be almost non-existent and we'd be letting everyone in regardless if they're a threat or not, and our country had never been more united in it's history.
I think we can agree on one thing though, our democracy is far from stable at the moment, but just not the reasons you think, or been brainwashed to believe, it is.
