I mean this in good faith, but Kamala Harris was vowing to make our military more lethal than ever, with zero plans to abolish ICE (something that was also not abolished under Obama, Biden, and all of these presidents/candidates had violent foreign policy and violent crackdowns on immigrants in their dossier. Five thousand deaths from police brutality and millions of deportations under Biden is not something that can be swept under the bus, nor is bombing the middle east and funding the genocide on Palestine. When people criticize these people it is not out of privilege, it is out of recognition that American politicians all hold imperialist agendas and that democrats have proven that they will commit war crimes and anti-immigrant violence if it benefits them. I think the idea that somehow the benefits Americans recieved under democratic presidents “makes up” for the ordered deaths of millions is completely indefensable. We have had a devastatingly imperialist right wing government for decades by the standards of anywhere else in the world.
I mean this in good faith, but you need to pull your head out of your fucking ass and look around.
She wasn't going to abolish ICE but ICE also wasn't clearing out entire apartment buildings at the request of property developers and disappearing citizens to "Alligator Alcatraz". She wasn't going to usher in a new era of peace, but the US wasn't drone striking random fishing boats in the Caribbean and "pivoting to wartime footing". She was going to keep selling arms to Israel, but she wasn't putting herself in charge of depopulating Gaza for real estate.
If you're so far removed from a situation that you can't tell the difference between "bad" and "worse", then yeah, that absolutely is a sign of privilege.
And y'all really need to look into governments elsewhere, because a lot of them are far to the right of the US on a lot of issues.
