Why? Why do you say this? You keep getting trapped in this idea of the DNC being “more moral” in actions, despite their actions still propping up imperialism and protecting it.

I literally just explained.

You did not. You said what you think they would do, but it seems to stem from your insistence on their moral superiority.

The Democrats famously adhere to American norms. Do you think they'd suddenly start bypassing congress and appoint a special government employee to go around causing chaos? They're entire identity is "we'd love to, but we can't because of congress".

The DNC uses those excuses to not push for radical positive change, not because they actually believe that.

And they'll suddenly throw away that excuse that they've relied on for decades, just to spite the world's developing countries by cutting USAID funding a few months sooner?

Not for spite, to protect profits. You're relying on moralism over what actually motivates the genocidal imperialist parties.
