    “promoted” LGBT rights internationally in a way that got LGBT people thrown under the bus world wide as a side effect of resisting American imperial power.

    Hey I don’t like HRC but this take is pants on head unhinged. Shes not doing anti-LGBT 4D chess, she was just narcissistic/delusional to think she’d be anywhere charismatic enough to convince people internationally to treat LGBT people better.

    Do people in the global south & developing world have agency? Or are they simpletons being manipulated by grand puppet masters? If the answer is they have agency, the bigots that live in those places should own their bigotry and you shouldn’t do apologia for them. If the answer is they are simpletons well… ok.

      You lack understanding of what I said then went way off the rails with your ridiculous finger wagging. We said the exact same fucking thing. I didn’t say she did it on purpose, I’m saying the way she did it got them thrown under the bus.

        I’ll say she did it on purpose. There is no such thing as an unintended negative consequence of democrats’ actions. Not one. If they wanted to get the benefit of the doubt, they shouldn’t have supported genocide. They’ll need a lot of action to fix that. Not words. Democrats have demonstrated how worthless their words are.
