The same people would assert that we shouldn't be meddling in other countries affairs to promote democracy.

I'm not defending our history here - some of it is pretty reprehensible.

Well this thread is ample proof on why you can't trust American "leftists"/"progressives"/etc.

The jingoism runs deep and there is no low they want drop to to defend their country and their golden idols.

You could just admit that Sanders can be wrong, but so many just chose to go "actually, he is not wrong, the US sometimes supports democracies instead of dictators."
