Yes I agree with that. What I’m saying is that the cost of keeping us in power, of keeping the dollar on top and defending US hegemony everywhere, is already so high that we’re facing an overaccumulation crisis, even with interest rates so low. It’s not even that controversial that sometime in the next 10-20 years we…

lol citations what are you, in high school? You can google shit for yourself. I can’t see the article you posted because of the paywall, but even all the mainstream media I’ve seen of the coverage pointed out that Abe hasn’t attributed blame. You think we should go to war to defend another countries’ property when…

Russia is directly involved in Iran, surely you know this. A confrontation with Iran would be a confrontation with Russia, just like in Syria. India is involved in it too, indirectly, both because of their economic relations and because they are likewise fighting salafists.

I’ve typed a lot about imperialism today,…

As I said, it is impossible for you to understand that other people have experiences different from yours. Because you literally just learned about something, you assume everyone has your experience. Journalists and immigration activists have been writing and talking about concentration camps at the border for years.…

Hey if you are cool with taking the side of Salafists then go right ahead. But argue that. Be honest about it and be straight up that you are on the side of the allies of ISIS, Al Qaeda, Boko Haram, etc and are opposed to their main enemies. Rather than pretending that there was anyone who ever said Iran were all good…

Again, literally the only people who believe that are Americans who listen to Bolton. Of course this includes corporate media. Do you think everyone else in the world is wrong? I’m sure you do.

Well see, that’s again your ignorance. You really think Iran mined those ships? The owners of those ships don’t think that. In fact, no one thinks that except Americans who believe anything John Bolton has to say.

The MEK and the Saudis, probably with direction from the US, mined those ships.

I would assume you’ve been in El Paso. The reason I would assume that is because 99% of the time, when I talk to people who are talking about visiting concentration camps, they are journalists and immigration activists. Which is why your question is stupid since it is dependent upon the subjective experience of the…

How many of those hostages were killed? Some American GIs were killed in a war as happens to soldiers in war. When has Iran ever killed American civilians? And yes, you made decisions based on relative considerations. Why, then, should the US intervene on the side of Saudi Arabia against Iran? We are on the wrong side…

Only nobody said that. You assumed this is what people think even though no one implied any such thing. Which means it’s something in your head that you are projecting onto others. Also you ignored the majority of what I said. In what way is Iran pushing anything? 

That’s your response? ha ha ha haha ha

No I disagree with that. I think the election will be close, but I think a Dem will win, assuming nothing changes really big picture like an economic collapse or a terrorist attack or we do start a global war, etc. All of which are possible.

lol oh no don’t keep me in the greys! not that!

OK, yet again I ask you- what are any other candidates’ policies on these issues?

It’s not that I think only Bernie can tackle them. In fact, I think he is woefully unprepared and that even if he were better, the system will work against him. But he is literally the only person in that high a position of power who is…

The Republicans, generic and fascist, have lost the popular vote on every presidential election since the late 80s with the exception of 2004- the election after 911.

This trend will continue as the country ages and boomers die. The Democrats do not win because the masses support war or Republican policy. They win…

They did overwhelmingly show up for Clinton. The fact that a tiny percentage of them voted for Trump doesn’t change this. You’d agree that black people overwhelmingly showed up for Clinton right since like almost 90% of them did? The fact that 12% voted for Trump doesn’t change that assessment. In most states, fewer…

I don’t trust anyone who could’ve been a grown ass educated adult for decades and thought Republicans were good.

Bernie does not switch parties. He switches between not being in a party and being a Democrat. I know you think this is pedantic, but it’s not the same thing. Switching parties would suggest he has some…

Your very first post was to show how people who voted for Bernie later voted for Republicans. You wrote this in response to someone who was talking about Bernie supporters who stayed home. These are two different groups of people. You brought this up. Anything else I could say would be going in circles. 

My dude, you are the one who keeps saying the wars are unwinnable. I’m saying the US has achieved its goals. I don’t think that means they were unwinnable.

1. Look at the number of US military bases around the region since all the forever wars have started. What about total and permanent US military presence in dozens…

No one is arguing with the fact that more Republican-leaning voters would have voted for Bernie than for Hillary. You brought it up for some reason even though it was irrelevant to the discussion. Yes Bernie had more crossover appeal. Yes Republicans hate Hillary, probably more than any other person on the planet and…
