Boom: I have written my Senators (Padilla and Schiff) and my Representative (Lateefah Simon) about taking a more prominent role in denouncing this stupid war.

(I hope they understood when I wrote that, if they don't stand up pretty soon, I will be "this far" from joining the Yogi Party.)

And while I was on a role, I wrote Mark Madsen about bringing in a power forward!!!

This is good but I want to hear it louder and more prominently, rather than having to search via a college sports fan site off-topic forum.

it was also dead on arrival irrelevant as the Congress didn't exercise any war power authority it might have had. Which explains why the whole discussion on the war's legality and the war power act lasted a microsecond with the media, and why you are reading this very out of date comment on a college sports fan site..

Schiff is an ardent Israeli supporter and Jewish. He's not voting against Israel. " Process" is a dodge.

Kamala Harris, I have low expectations for you, but surprise me. Do the right thing, even if you think it might not be popular. I'd still never vote for you in a primary, but at least I'd toss you some respect.

^ That was somewhat entertaining. Whatever Kamala Harris thinks about this war now, she ought to come out and say it. Be for it or be against it. One of her biggest weaknesses has been her lack of "authenticity", which to me means carefully curating positions on the issues with the goal of not losing any voters.

I'm not interested in her as a future candidate but rather as a Democrat who might garner some national attention when she says something. She wrote a book and did a little press tour. Testing the water? Whatever, how does she feel about this?

Trump is now looking to her for justification for his horrible actions?
Wow.

Desperate. Somebody save him from himself.

This thread is only a few months from blaming Democrats for this war, ala Hillary Clinton and Iraq, the Syrian Civil War, the Libyan Civil War, etc. Looking forward to the dems on this site reflecting on the merits of the case.


It is reminiscent of the pitch bot.

The door is wide open for a Democrat to step in and take on the antiwar mantle, but none have, other than one passing statement by Newsom about the girls school massacre. Half of them are hardened neocons like Buttigig or Booker, and the other half are just out of touch or too cowardly.

Agree with this, in general.

Based on posts here and the replies I received from my Congresswoman and Senators, they have taken a stance against the war. However, it has not been loud enough for me to hear. I follow the news, but am not a "news junkie".

Folks like me should be able to hear it, otherwise, it barely counts. What say there, Gavin?
