Description

Merely 24 hours after submitting a mildly-worded letter calling for increased efforts at diplomacy over Ukraine, House Progressives retracted the letter, apologizing for the poor “timing” and blaming staffers for issuing the letter without approval from their Congressional bosses. Which is both cowardly and transparently implausible. So it’s confirmed — there is no such thing as an anti-war wing of the Democratic Party, at least not among elected representatives. Guest host Aaron Maté (https://mate.substack.com) and his panel of The Grayzone’s Max Blumenthal and America’s Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss this epically craven backpedal from the already pathetically weak Congressional progressives, and how the door has now slammed shut on the possibility of ending this war any time in the near term.

You know it's getting bad when politician's (financial) handlers won't even let them pander to their constituents around election time.
