Some Democrats are fighting to stop Trump's Iran war, but leaders like Chuck Schumer are quietly acquiescing or, worse, supporting an attack.

      ‘Winning’ isnt the goal. Maintaining chaos is the goal.

        Maintaining chaos is the goal.

        That’s not a sustainable strategy - at one point or the other, the chaos becomes organised against you. Just look at the utterly unassailable position the Taliban is now in thanks to the US’s complete defeat in Afghanistan - which, remember, the US could once easily invade using airbases inside Russia. That is now a thing of the past - the US is essentially now locked out of much of central Asia.

        Invading Iran is going to be a far, far worse disaster for the US than Afghanistan and Iraq put together - and there is only so much defeat that the US can handle.

            Yeah that’s sort if why it’s evil.

            Wether it’s evil or not is irrelevant - if that’s the conversation you want, we have to start off with all the stuff that isn’t evil about the US (because it’s such a short list, you see)

            Now tou understand why the fascists ard going to die even if we stand back and do nothing.

            Oh, yeah… they’ll die, all right - from old age and in the most luxurious surroundings, too. Just like Kissinger did.

Dunking on Liberals from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.

Dems keep working with trump to approve his picks, but what they won’t accept is that if you sit down at a table with nazis, the only thing that’s changed is the number of nazis at the table. @_cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Rules:

  • No bigotry of any kind (except towards liberalism).
  • No liberals (unless you are a masochist and enjoy the abuse).
  • Strictly no downvoting (downvoters may be community banned, 4 the lulz).
  • Bernie Sanders is still a liberal.
  • This is a genAI friendly instance, so no complaining about genAI content.

We allow posts about liberal behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion.
