20. Being critical of US foreign policies isn't

But that is not what Chomsky does. He overlooks the mass graves of the Khmer Rouge, or the Srebrenica massacre.

He like many on the far left takes the anti western side. Even if it means siding with the perpetrators of a genocide.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
