Trying to pass laws to defend protesters’ rights is a lonely battle on Capitol Hill.

    Honestly man it’s time to examine the actual structure of the party you’re talking about. It’s completely locked down by a donor class that prefers losing a hundred time to allowing one victory for the left. There’s more room for criticism of the forever wars on the right, even of it’s only performative Tea Partyesque babbling about how they were mismanaged and a waste of money. Of course, the wars aren’t designed to be won, they’re designed to cripple regions economically to uphold dependency relations and make the MIC some money. And nobody like JD Vance or Tulsi Gabbard will really try to put a stop to that. Just saying even they are less unilateral in their support of our wars than the post-911 democrats.

      I was once a citizen of the former United States. Then some real sharp thinkers came in and did some really dumb stuff… At this point there are only fascists and non-fascists. I’m not really fond of facists so…

        Yeah same man I moved overseas. I feel safer. I doubt it was ever good in your lifetime either. Maybe more livable, but no less evil.
