          And the reality is that you don’t get to choose, you get both.

        We literally can’t stop either of them, so at this point we gotta support the lesser of two evils.

          We don’t have to support any of them. That’s a false dichotomy.

            Doesn’t stop either one of them from doing whatever they want.

      How is that even a point of comparison. Legitimizing such an invasive option by any government should be a red flag.

      One of these countries is the largest military superpower the world has ever seen, has invaded or meddled in countless countries around the world for their resources, and has one of if not the most expansive domestic surveillance system… and the other country is Russia.

      Russia has it’s own problems, but they’re not the threat that the US is to the world.

      Let’s assume China is already spying on you, how would it be better if the USA is spying on you too?
