Where Is the Anti-War Left in America?
In Congress, they talk a big game but fold every time; it’s easy to be anti-war until the war propaganda starts
It’s difficult to imagine the Democratic Party being more of a disappointment. Things could somehow always be worse, but the list of accomplishments is embarrassingly short while the existential crises continue to mount, the party prefers to use only kind words and virtue signaling to address dire problems, and we’re now on the brink of WWIII.
The progressive edge of the party has turned out to be a complete paper tiger and punching bag of a scapegoat for every other political player in the nation.
They do nothing, accomplish nothing, and yet get blamed for every Democratic Party loss — even though those defeats are usually easily explainable and, quite honestly, justified — and they get used as a fear-mongering tool by the right, who claim Biden is ‘beholden’ to the far left.
Now, every Democrat in Washington just voted to send $40 billion to Ukraine and the Biden Administration is sending troops to Somalia.
Somehow, the only dissent came from the right and the loony-toon Marjorie Taylor Greene gave the speech that ideologically would have been AOC’s role.
