Foreign policy and domestic policy are not unrelated. If you are an American involved in foreign policy and you don’t at the very least acknowledge our uniquely American failures when they flagrantly occur, YOU diminish OUR credibility on the international stage 1/4

Globally, it’s understood that the US govt is not reflective of the population. It’s understood that you, an American, can represent your govt without agreeing with everything it does. SAY SOMETHING 2/4

And writing it off as “I’m just here to help on the nuclear front” is wildly insufficient. What are you protecting everyone from, then? People die everyday at the very hands of the people supposed to protect them 3/4

How can we convince the public that we, the establishment, are trying to protect them from global threats when we, the establishment, do the opposite locally and nationally? 4/4
