She just said the quiet part out loud, but it's the foundation of American politics.
Every candidate from each major party has an interest in continuing American Empire. The hope with Bernie was that he could negotiate a withdrawal of it like the English did, but I think even he would be forced to continue the main thrust of American foreign policy.
It's pretty simple, politicians view it as a zero sum game. Our relative comfort here in America is dependent on death and exploitation in the third world. You can either negotiate a better deal here at home with Democrats, or accelerate full tilt into bringing fascism here at home with Republicans.
The choice is obvious, but it's all a bit fukked up.
