My take on any enemies of the US is uncritical support

Also, I want to circle back to this for a second. Doesn't this mean that we maybe shouldn't take your advice on how as voters to approach the presidential election?

Or does your "enemies of the US get uncritical support" stance come in conjunction with a "the US election is very important to me and I have some criticisms of the Democrats but they're purely meant from a constructive helping-the-country-get-better point of view" viewpoint on electoral politics?

Yeah, there is a discrepancy, I should be voting for the candidate that would lead to the quickest and least violent destruction of the US, but I live here and I can't give up the admittedly absurd hope that despite all evidence, the US will just you know, stop it, without a revolution or anything.

There is a difference in what libs and I consider "helping-the-country-get-better" is; I feel helping the country get better at imperialism is a bad thing, they don't.

Conversely, I feel helping the country get better at improving material conditions for the working class at the expense of the capitalist class to be good, where libs do not.
