            We’re in a thread talking about the only other choice we had for president vs Trump, because of what Trump is doing as president, and you’re going “well aCkShYuALLy” about it.

            When faced with two choices (which itself is a problem that needs to be addressed), the American people picked the fascist pedophile over “woman who laughs weird” (something the GOP actually tried to use against her during their campaign).

            she was also an american imperialist she made that clear.

            If you’ve got any proof of that claim, lay it out for us. As someone who does not pledge allegiance to any politician in any way, shape, or form whatsoever, I would be very interested to see what you’ve got.

              People who didn’t vote for Harris didn’t choose Trump, they just rejected Harris.

              You don’t get to propose Nazi light as an alternative to Nazi pro and demand people vote for her, which is what happened.

              If she was a viable candidate, people would have voted for her. He won by the toss of a coin, because people wanted neither.

                This is part of why the 2-party system we’re currently stuck with is so problematic.

        It won’t. Venezuela isn’t a member of BRICS or anything. They’re a member of OPEC, but that’s an economic cartel, not a military alliance. They don’t have the necessary allies to come to their aid to turn it into a world war.

        The US inherited it from the British, there were people already living here. They have been invading sovereign nations in the name of the US since independence.

            The 1700s. Whereas the last skirmishes of the Indian Wars ended after WWI. Europeans invaded the sovereign nations that were already here and then the US, after independence, continued to expand westward into places where people already lived.

                Howbout you go reread their comment and do some math.

                The Wounded Knee Massacre which ended tribal resistance and completed the conquest of their land happened in 1890, and then the “Renegade period” went on until 1924.

                  Holy fucking shit too many of you talk about shit you do not understand. The US is still occupying those lands and intends to eradicate Native American nations. If you also actually read my comment, you’d see that the person above was trying to explain something (inadequately) that was outside the scope of what I was addressing.

                  Fucking some of you have to develop humility jfc.

    "We invaded sovereign soil, going after oil

    Taking countries is a hobby paid for by the oil lobby

    Same as in Iraq and Afghanistan

    And Ahmadinejad say they coming for Iran

    They only love the rich and how they loathe the poor

    If I say any more they might be at my door."

        Would be absolutely amazing for some 3rd world country, to just casually imprison Trump, stating “We’ll control USA for now”. If no one intervenes in this, then no one should intervene in that.

    Honestly, having oil reserves is a national security issue at this point. Until they find a way to cheaply ruin oil reserves, no country is safe from the US.

    If you want to defeat us, peace hasn’t worked but starvation sure as hell will.

    I am not seeing enough Star Wars memes in my feed after this.

    Maduro Leia and Trump Vader would be a start.
