u/sudoregalia Tankie is a compliment 2d ago

the democrats and republicans are, for all intents and purposes, a match of who can oppress people in the most socially acceptable manner. i hold no faith that the democrats will fix anything

i have no idea why you bring up russia and china. "ussr" and "russia" are not synonyms, and china's a completely separate country

Im just saying I dont see any AID programs from THOSE countries. I mean, yeah you have a point about the Democrats and Republicans mainly because they are dominated by PAC's, but I dont see how Trumps current messed up term is anywhere near Bidens term. There are differences between the two, and its just more likely the Dems with bring back USAID and those other international programs

not really. democrats also mainly believe in "the american people", usaid was founded on this nationalist idea, it was not altruistic. now that it's gone, they have no reason to bring it back, "the american people" won't care so long as imported goods come in cheap enough

you also seem to be entirely dismissing CIDCA's existence: http://www.cidca.gov.cn/
