• If we want a lot of good things, but the people who are in charge of doing those things won't do a lot of those things, but they will do one of them, should we tell them not to do the good thing cause they won't do all of them?

Interesting to see an erstwhile Bernie Sanders progressive suddenly tout the importance of fiscal frugality and the need for everyone to be fucked over equally for the sake of even-handedness.

I’m sure it’s got nothing to do with dumbass knee-jerk tankie contrarianism though.

Like, how hard is it to say “We must support Ukrainians in their fight against colonial subjugation, and we also need to ensure that other people and other countries in need also get the help they deserve?”

But no, she can’t say that lest she untangle herself from her web of delusions about how (1) the only real imperialism is US imperialism and, thus, (2) no other country can be imperialist and, thus, (3) countries victimized by other imperialist states aren’t actually victims.
