Description

Not only is the new hardline regime in Tehran now more likely to go rogue as a nuclear power a la North Korea, ordinary Iranians—who Trump and Bibi initially claimed we were rescuing—are also living under even harsher conditions. At the same time, the war has burned through billions worth of our critical weapons stockpile, a development that surely will figure into China’s calculations vis‐à‐vis Taiwan. This is the moment for Dems to reshape their brand and win back everyday working Americans. Plus, the settlers’ escalating attacks on Palestinians in the West Bank, the Trump administration’s depraved treatment of Afghan refugees, any talk of aid for UAE stinks of Trump family corruption, and Dems need to fix their blue places while simultaneously working to win voters in the red ones.

The Dems need to lead with those stats he used about what we could have gotten regarding education and childcare with the billions we've wasted on the war so far.

Really proud of the Bulwark for having someone on who calls out Israel instead of bending the knee. Keep it up.

No one in the US admin gave a f.. about the Iranian protesters. They have used like an excuse and will be thrown under a bus as convenient.

This had nothing to do with the Iranian protests. This happened because Trump the Chump got played by Bibi.

Trump would not give two shits if China invaded Taiwan. He'd probably praise Xi for being very strong.

We need to completely decouple from Israel. They are the root cause
