It was the department of war originally but changed to defense to make war profiteering seem reasonable.

This just reads like another moderate that believes Americans want boring do-nothing politicians.
What good does being “up in arms” do? What should happen is Booker and Harris should hire private security for Texas democrats that protects them from the authoritarians.
Call the cops that are providing the escorts Republican’s demand.
Reacting to these things lets the damage be done
Who is enforcing these guardrails?
The mindless fawning over incompetent and corrupt politicians from moderates is closer to MAGA than they want to admit. It is why they punch left every chance they get.
Yeah, you’ve been polishing a turd for a few decades now and are too emotionally invested in the shine to stop.
I’ve watched moderates like Buttigieg push the Overton window further and further right my entire life. I’m honestly at the end of my desire to argue for harm reduction. People like you that can only be hostile in the face of dissent make it even more exhausting to care.
He makes me think of the quote “All that is required for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.” He is ready to sacrifice trans people to anti-trans people to seek a return to a pre-COVID status quo. I’m sorry, but that’s not very appealing to me.
What do you think is abandoning trans people to right wing grievances?
Because people are replying in rage to someone saying we shouldn’t abandon trans people.
Because Buttigieg offers the option of capitulation
Supporting the actions against Gaza cost democrats swing states but they will dig their hills in and continue to be wrong as long as that means punching left.
Imagine making people who fight for LGBT rights out to be the bad guy.
This would carry more weight if democrats were able to out maneuver Trump.
Democrats need to find new strategies beyond calling any dissent either support for the GOP or a Russian psyop.
I’m sure doing nothing will beat them in the next election.
And this hasn’t changed anything for the Trump administration or the Republican Party.
Neither of us have posted information.
You’re not though, you’re just making proclamations that bare very little resemblance to reality.
You seem like a disinfo agent.
Historical speaking a government using violence against peaceful citizens results in more support for the government? Citation needed.
Someone like Manchin.
I’m sure the national guard attacking a picket line will result in people being against the general strike. Right?
Why would they mobilize the guard against a protest that doesn’t spurn change but results in people losing their homes?
Is his approval rating why he is mobilizing the national guard?
Oh wow, so we’re already seeing the fruits of these labors.
Ok, get to organizing this international boycotts being easier, lol.
But a 10% drop in YouTube views is going to spurn massive changes in DC!!
Ah, back to international boycotts being easier to organize than a national general strike. Are you a Russian troll or something?
Neat, and this accomplished nothing that wasn’t already in the works at that time.
So in your economic downturn only the rich get affected?
That was happening prior to the decrease in sales.
Voters notoriously love big tech and their profit margins.
And that accomplished what exactly?
Did these collapses for Tesla spurn any action in DC?
How is a 10% reduction in YouTube views going to force DC into action that’s not subsidies for Alphabet?
Oh sorry, boycotts. It is so much easier to organize massive international boycott than a national general strike.
I replied to you hoping that other countries would perform sanctions on their biggest trading partner.
Correct and now that’s what West Virginias think of when they think democrat.
Don’t worry, European countries are ready to crash their economies to enact sanctions. That’s a very real and very intelligent take.
Are you a chat bot?
I get it, doing this work would be too hard so let’s wait for sanctions!
Ok, I’ve read this all again and I’m still unclear and what you think you’re correct about.
I’m unconvinced that a general strike would make things worse.
Right about what?
I get it, fighting for a better world is too hard.
You’re right, she didn’t win over any republicans with all her efforts.
Last democrat sent to DC from West Virginia was Manchin.
Imagine being represented by Manchin and then thinking more of that is a great idea.
She worked very hard to win over republicans for some unknown reason.
“It will be hard” is a pathetic excuse to present no solutions.
Just a 10% participation in a general strike would have severe effects on the economy.
I love when people just make things up to maintain their view.
How long do you think rich people could go with losing billions of dollars?
Nothing short of supporting fascist with please American cops. It’s been that way for decades. Why are they in your consideration for allies against fascism?
Why not advocate for a general strike?
This is how you react to bad faith. Double down on the argument that pisses them off.
A lot of Trump’s cockamania bullshit gets interpreted as “I’m concerned about the amount I get paid”
Was that person Jesus?
Are you a chat bot or something?
By forcing change that helps them you help them. By maintaining the status quo you hurt them. I don’t understand what you’re struggling with!
We both know that helping low income people does not hurt them.
The fact you can only shout with impotent rage really convinces me I’m correct.
This doesn’t make any sense. Helping people actually hurts them is the logic that drives trickle down economics.
I’ve maintained the same point that we do not need candidates that are Reagan era democrats or do-nothing politicians.
Joe Biden does exist actually.
I agreed we need candidates with BDE and that somehow became a defense for geriatric center right career politicians
These are all things Joe Biden did over his 50 year career in federal office.
Joe Biden
That’s because democrats don’t support those two things. Otherwise they’d have the votes.
Would you rather have an expanded safety net or tax breaks on luxury cars?
I’ve been ranting about how perfect Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were?
Left leaning politicians want increased funding to a violent and unaccountable police force???
So you think left leaning politicians talk about cutting Medicare and social security? Left leaning politicians protect conservative SCOTUS justices from accountability for sexual harassment? Left leaning politicians give eulogies as unrepentant segregationist funerals? Get fucking real.
Ok, then correct me. Provide something more than incoherent rants.
You’ve already denied that Biden was in federal office when Reagan was president, why should I trust you?
100% the fucking truth. I’m not going to vote for a fascist pedophile like Trump. You’ve got no idea who I am or what I’ve done but are ready to make baseless accusations because that’s easier than holding powerful people accountable for the outcomes of their power.
His entire 50 year career leans to the right.
No, I voted for Harris
I’m sorry but all you’ve done is rant incoherently about how perfect democrats are and refuse to listen to any sort of view that doesn’t align with your own. Demanding that type of purity is extremely toxic and off-putting.
No, I held my noise and voted for the lesser evil. As much as I detest do-nothing democrats they’re not cartoon villains like the opposition.
Yes they were. That’s what you’re doing now.
Her biggest obstacle was not being able to address problems ignored or exacerbated by the Biden administration
Young voters were told to fuck off by voters like you so they fucked off.
Yes there was, Biden dropped out a few months before Election Day and selected the politician that took last place in the previous primary.
Nothing gets young voters fired up like a geriatric center-right career politician.
About Biden being a Reagan-era Democrat. There is a knee jerk reaction to deny any and all criticism of democrats no matter how obvious and legitimate. This is a great example of that behavior.
Wow, Biden was a Democrat during the Reagan era. He is literally a Reagan-era Democrat. Whoa! I was right this entire fucking time. Wild.
When did Reagan become President?
So you think post pandemic Americans were clamoring for tax breaks on the purchase of a new Tesla more than anything else?
Do you know what a legislative majority is?
I don’t care about politicians being perfect. I care about them being connected to the communities they serve. Nothing about national sick time or universal healthcare post-pandemic shows a strong disconnect between the elected and the electorate.
What did you mean by this? bsky.app/profile/suan...
Then why did it fail to maintain a legislative majority?
Did you not accuse me of being a Russian psyop already?
I was irrationally hoping for nationally mandated sick time and universal healthcare after the pandemic. Instead I got a tax cut to purchase a new Tesla.
If the options weren’t dogshit you wouldn’t need conspiracy theories to avoid criticism.
No it always sucked which is why it failed to maintain legislative majorities.
