the Democratic Party is going to be handed a windfall current leadership is utterly incapable of exploiting and we need there to be consequences for this time.

In every Republican presidency of my lifetime there's been a recession and a new war in the Middle East.

this is the clearest black and white picture of how the US is fucked. illegal unprovoked war at the height of financial, healthcare and employment crises by a rogue pedophile president and it has 3/4ths approval from the "opposition" party.

I'm old enough to remember the Biden administration. Dems will do nothing again. You can't even get dems to stop voting form trump bills and nominees.

No matter how desperately our politicians try to convince us otherwise, Israel isn't good for us. The new U.S.-Israeli war on Iran, which Americans overwhelmingly do not want, is the latest proof of that. It's time for us to end the relationship.

I wonder if he would have the political capital to start a war if dems had been using every trick Mitch McConnel used to obstruct every bill and nominees like we wanted for the past year.

Media Matters analyzed a year of NYT coverage of anti-trans bills and found that 66% of the time the paper didn't quote a trans person. Further, it found that the paper often quoted right wing sources without mentioning their histories of anti-trans rhetoric.
So "right-wing rag" is pretty accurate.

the thing is trump's utter contempt for the troops is actually one of the few honest and good things about him. he's not saying anything that every US politician doesn't believe he's just not telling the lies you're supposed to tell you keep recruitment numbers up.

When push comes to shove and I ask someone who is temperamentally pro-Israel what an Israeli government that voluntarily ceases all further settlement activity would look like they usually concede that it isn't possible. I think that alone should tell you what our responsibility in the US is.
