      The Democratic party is a neo-liberal party, this is not something they oppose further than rhetoric to pacify the population, they are supportive of these war crimes and the potential colonial war on South America. Remember Obama’s drone strikes that liberals hate to acknowledge.

      The Democratic party uses leftist rhetoric to pacify and squash leftist revolution, they are not on your side.

    Of course not. He’s a worthless hollow shell of a person with no real beliefs of his own and his corporate masters want this.

    He should be thrown out of leadership.

      Guess what?

      AOC or Omar wouldn’t do it either.

      If they do it, the GOP will just point out that Obama did the same thing and we get caught up in a big fight that the GOP will win on points.

      Yes, the system is shitty. It’s the one we have, so it’s a good idea to learn how it works.

          If you’re going to put words in my mouth, please order some chips and salsa.

          If you just want to live in a fantasy world where Progressives control the government, go ahead, but leave me out of your private wonderland.

          If you want to talk actual strategy and tactics, I’m here.

            My point is: Anyone who’s going to enter the “Obama is a war criminal” fight on the side of Obama can fuck off. Besides being morally reprehensible, those people are a liability anyway. These are your Schumers and Hillaries, and their inclusion does nothing but hold back progress.

              By that logic we should throw Mamdani out because he didn’t strangle Trump in the Oval Office. Instead, he did the smart thing and acted like a gentleman. Also, Mamdani got a little over 50% of the vote running against a molester and an idiot.

              And the millions of voters who’d happily give Obama a third term are a ‘hindrance?’

              You live in a fantasy world where there are millions and millions of Progressive voters who have sat out every single primary and general election waiting for the perfect candidate to appear.

    With Democratic leadership like this you may as well vote Green or PSL.

    Then close the investigation since there’s no fucking point when you admit upfront you don’t intend to do anything with the result.

    Don’t worry I don’t expect Democrats to do anything even vaguely resembling vertebrate work. Just keep inching along, you worms, and get replaced by a functional, good government.

      The only way the Untied States is getting a functional government and justice system is if there’s a revolution

      While I agree many if not most need to go, when the guy was asked if they would file impeachment articles, his response was basically there is no way the Republicans are going to vote on it so their is no point. Which is true. The Republicans would see a successful impeachment of Hegseth as a fracture that would allow all Republicans to have to answer for their crimes eventually. They’ll shit on every single one of their constituents wants before they do that.

      Shit I don’t know if Johnson would even let it come to a vote
