  1. People use what she says to support right wing ideas but I find a striking similarity between the Kim regimes demand that people be self sufficient and the republicans mantra of pull yourself up by your bootstraps. Yes personal responsibility is a good thing but when you use that idea to demonize people It’s a tool for dictatorship.

  2. Perhaps this is naive but why ca USA foreign policy include the idea that China and Russia do not want democracies on their borders and just set some boundaries so they feel safe from encroaching Democracies? Putin and Xi Ping are dictators and not people to emulate as Republicans would have one believe. Just offer them some security that we will do what we can to keep our ideas in our areas and maybe China would let North Korea become more normalized
