As a non American, I keep seeing this excuse and I'm always gobsmacked.
Bad candidate compared to... Trump?
You lot sure know how to pick them (or not, as it were).
"As a noN amEricAn" last year i had to sit with my wife as she called her windowed friend in Lebannon.
She was a fucking genocider and if you would have voted for her You're a piece of shit
But America has been doing this, funding wars etc, for decades. Vietnam, Iraq, South Korea. Taliban, Saddam, Bin Laden. List goes on.
Is it because you're personally affected now that your view has changed on the involvement of your country in another's?
And had the way you voted, or lack thereof, made any difference to the situation? From what I can see, it's made things so much worse, not only for you and your fellow citizens, but globally. Not only is the genocide continuing to be funded (now with fervour and the promise of developing the stolen land), American citizens and foreign travellers are being unlawfully detained.
I don't know about you, but from the outside looking in, it was extremely obvious to me that KH was the better candidate because she could be reasoned with. Of course, you have many other better candidates but your system only allows you to choose from two.
Honestly, the American voting and political system sucks; I empathise with you there. If you're going to be angry at something, be angry at that and force a change to get in a candidate that represents you and your values. You got great politicians like AOC and Bernie but with the current system, they'll never be up for the top job.
As another non-American, comparing her to Trump is very reductive, because fundamentally she and Trump were trying to appeal to completely different sets of people. Yeah yeah lesser evil and all that, but that doesn't work in the real world.
