Only 64% percent of Americans now say it’s a good thing…
Makes sense. It’s not like it’s the American populous that’s the world power. When we speak of US interests, they are exclusively defined by a fraction of 1% of all Americans. If the rest of us benefit from US foreign policy it’s just a happy coincidence.
The policy preferences of average Americans have been shown to have no statistically relevant impact on the passage of legislation. Unless you are a wealthy contributor, your opinions don’t count, and they never have.
We had a chance with Bernie and we blew it. Another chance will come, but I don’t see it on the horizon. Until then, we’re stuck in societal damage control.

My interests are served by feeding people and preventing violence, which is not what our government does.
But every election makes me feel less and less American so maybe I don’t count anymore.
