@johnsprague4914 NATO is simply an assertion of a Western alliance between democracies in North America and Europe, nothing more. (And especially in light of the first two World Wars, I contend that this is quite the accomplishment.) Russia could join NATO if it so chooses, but it first has to demonstrate that it can operate as an effective and legitimate democracy, not an autocratic oligarchy. Hence, NATO's ultimate purpose is to defend democracy around the world. Opposition admits nothing less than an open hostility to preserving the principles that have made the West the most prosperous region anywhere in the world -- namely, a commitment to democratic ideals and the safeguarding of basic civil and human rights and liberties. As a young American male, I wouldn't be drafted to fight for Finland; rather, I would be fighting to defend the most successful realization of these ideals in all of world history. And that, I believe, is a cause worth fighting for and is why I support NATO (despite all opposing arguments of which I am very familiar, most notably articulated by professor Noam Chomsky).

@Perkz 45 ✰ Biden: "What are Republicans for?"
I can answer that for you:
- More tax cuts for the rich
- Endless war
- Rampant corruption
- Voter suppression
- Cuts to the already miniscule social safety net (by developed standards)
- Wall Street deregulation and bailouts
- No environmental protections
- Hindering unionization efforts
- Nonstop distractions about culture war garbage (Dr. Seuss/Potato Head, Sexy M&M's, Critical Race Theory, transgender bathrooms)
- Obstructing any substantive material improvement in the lives of ordinary Americans (like healthcare, childcare, homecare, paid maternity leave, extended child tax credit, and student loan debt relief)
- Privatizing everything
- Defenestration of separation of church and state
- Government overreach into your personal business (mass surveillance, regulating your sex life, your anatomy, your intake of certain substances, etc.)
In other words: Everything that would objectively make the lives of ordinary working-class Americans worse. "lEt'S gO bRaNdOn" my @ss!!
