If you’re against imperialism (as well you should be), maybe the problem you have then lies not with the candidates, but with the Presidency itself. The President is literally titled the Chief of State and their Constitutional duty is to administrate state violence. (http://twitter.com/girlziplocked/status/1129209706294272000?s=17)

The whole concept of the US Presidency is to kill people to preserve the state apparatus. All Presidents are bastards. States are prisons. Borders are cages. All the candidates running are running to perpetuate the state and thus legitimizing state violence. All of them. (http://twitter.com/girlziplocked/status/1129211217288081409?s=17)

The founders with red dots are the slaveholders. The founders in yellow are the only ones who freed all the people they held.
Thomas Jefferson, who wrote the Declaration of Independence, raped one of the women he enslaved.
He freed his illegitimate children. But not their mom. https://t.co/9D1aurjZUD (http://twitter.com/arlenparsa/status/1168192825848213510?s=17)

Mount Rushmore was carved by John Borglum, a white supremacist and card-carrying member of the KKK, on land stolen from the Lakota people, in violation of US treaties (even according to the US Supreme Court).
