The guy Russia picked is destroying workers’ rights
Yeah, all I said was “all else being equal.” If one side is more disruptive or more friendly towards Russia, they’d prefer that side regardless of other domestic policies. They are not out friends.
However, the guy they picked is also the guy the right picked, and his most destructive and harmful policies are to appease the right and to advance his own interests and those of his class.
Bush, as far as I’m aware, had no ties to Russia. Acting on his own initiative, he gave tax cuts to the wealthy, he created an illegal system of mass surveillance, he started multiple wars of aggression to send ordinary people to kill and die, he abducted people to black sites to be tortured, he transformed the country and greatly reduced any sense of civil liberty or privacy that we used to have. Perhaps whoever the Republicans nominate after Trump will not have ties to Russia, but either way, they will continue this project of hollowing out our rights and advancing bourgeois interests.
Also the greatest threat to the rest of the world. Which is why it’s bad that Russia is friends with them and helping to get it done.

Agreed.
