All of those things you mentioned? Exactly what I was referencing earlier.

Definitely a fair point with one of Russia’s key military suppliers potentially being crippled, I agree. There have been other republican detractors in congress who don’t fall into the same boat and, again, I’m not sure I can really fault Gabbard (in this very specific context mind you) for just reiterating what the US’ own intelligence is saying.

All I saw was a person saying one tragedy doesn’t require us to choose to inflict another.

Instead you took the opposite tact

Yeah the entire US intelligence arm, really any public intelligence period, etc.

I vehemently disagree with those folks you mentioned but gotta say, not wanting to get involved in another war in the Middle East built on outright lies doesn’t make them Kremlin controlled. It’s other things.

This is real defeatist.

There are absolutely people who will not vote no matter what. But folks are being actively disenfranchised and making it easy to vote by a proven secure method has become a political issue because a few who have power wield it without responsibility. Hell, if Election Day was a national holiday (as in, EVERYTHING is closed or by law folks are able to take time off to vote with proof of doing so) you’d probably see a substantial bump alone.

And yet, about half of voting Americans will actively ignore those impulses and choose a party that openly campaigns on tax reductions while it drums up fears surrounding issues they largely agree with (when presented in a non-partisan context) so does it really matter what they say?

You sure it wasn’t when we had the balls to write that all men are created equal while simultaneously denying the rights of anyone who wasn’t a rich man?

Like I know it was a different time but the plot was lost long ago.

He has extremely valid points about ultra processed foods. That’s about it
