      How dumb of me to think the election will not significantly change the lives of almost anyone who is suffering in America and beyond.

        Yeah, that is not true. One continues with a set of decisions that are actually improving my life, and the lives of those around me, while keeping the status quo abroad. The other, and everyone working with them, have produced a plan for governing that will make both significantly worse.

        Just because you sit in a position of privilege, that means the GOP getting their way won’t significantly change your life, doesn’t mean that is true for others.

          Unless you’re not a participant in the American economy, you must be incredibly privileged if inflation and housing costs have somehow improved for you rather than most Americans.

          keeping the status quo abroad

          Imagine the ignorance of human exploitation and suffering caused by western consumerism and American weapons to actually believe that the status quo is a good thing.

          Just because you are vastly insulated from the suffering of others does not mean American problems start and end with the GOP. Democrat run cities are a paradise now?
