America would do the same if China or Russia was making political conventions up there.

Nah, all foreign operatives are welcome to contribute to American politicians. And really - it's not even a joke. Between Citizen's United (which allows corporations to spend unlimited amounts of money influencing elections) and crypto (who do you think was buying Trump's coin?!), our politicians don't complain about interference - they cash in on it.

    I believe you talk out of your ass like that as an American because you are not really aware of all the abusive influence your country exercises in the rest of the world and especially the global south.

    You believe citizens united and crypto are a bug in the system? My friend America is a bunch of corporations in a trench coat, the point is to make money not serve it's people. You were led to believe this bunch of bull about democracy and freedom and in the end the whole neoliberal cycle of abuse was bound to come back and bite you on the ass.

    And still it is not even a fraction of all the pain and destruction america has caused all over the world, i am hoping someday it comes back to you guys full force.

    Are you sure that you replied to the correct person? Or maybe you didn't catch the sarcastic tone of my first sentence?

    Let me lay it out for you nice and neat - I believe that our politicians are very corrupt, some of the most corrupt on the planet.
