Biden ran on getting back into the deal with Iran, then insisted that Iran must completely return to fulfilling their side of the deal before we would consider returning to ours.
Both sides are not the same but Biden shouldn’t be let off the hook for his sudden flip on this issue.

You have been trying to “replace” them for decades. How is that working out for you?
You too have been trying to “replace” them for decades. How is that working out for you? We’ve gotten a few elected and pushed a few more in that direction. Where is your progress? You don’t get to start the clock over every election and pretend that your approach hasn’t been tried.
There is no coming over to the progressive side, because the progressive side doesn’t exist in that party.
I’m talking about voters, and I think that was pretty clear. If all you do in alienate voters, then your movement is nothing but performative.

Third party strategies can not and will not work. However bad they are, the Democratic party has a stranglehold on media attention and a fiercely loyal following. Getting all those voters to collectively walk away is an insane notion.
Good advice.
Everything you said about the administration is spot on. I just don’t think it will work the way they want it to. I think the administration isn’t holding the tool they think they’re holding.
All that does practically is prevent them from making arrests. It does not prevent them from deploying on US soil, or using force against civilians.
No military force will ever be deployed anywhere with that restriction. They could be delivering food and medicine to an orphanage, and they would still be prepared to respond to any aggression.
Any time military comes in contact with civilians there is the possibility that force will be required. If protesters become violent towards soldiers, (not something I’m saying is likely) then soldiers will have to respond.
The rules you are referring to prohibit the military from getting involved in law enforcement (essentially arrests). They can still participate in peacekeeping, and peacekeeping (somewhat ironically) always involves the possiblity of violence.
I think it’s important for protesters to be aware of the actual rules the police and military are obliged to follow. There is a lot of incorrect information going around.
Great work!?!? Atta boy!?!? What are ya looking for here? The world is burning and you didn’t bother to do the one small thing that could have made a difference, and you think that’s something to brag about?
Over 10,000 people have died so far just from USAID cuts, and another 23,000 from the PEPFAR funding freeze. Those numbers alone are ticking up faster than the Gaza death toll,which is still happening BTW. But, not to worry, Rodneyck kept his integrity, and that’s what’s really important.
Politics is about achieving the best possible outcome, not making personal virtue statements.
It’s also interesting that he sees his own leadership in the party as being hopelessly undermined - yet he hasn’t resigned for the good of the party. That’s so fucking telling.
We need to take the Democratic party away from the weak and disconnected fools and shills that run it. Third party strategies in a first past the post system are self defeating. What this call shows is that the establishment can’t cope with strong progressives in the party. Outside the party, we just make a great excuse every time Republicans win.
Those are IPv6 addresses that work a bit differently than IPv4. Most customers only get assigned a single IPv4 address, and even a lot of big data centers only have one or two blocks of 256 addresses. The smallest allocation of IPv6 for a single residential customer is typically a contiguous block of the 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 addresses mentioned.
If Google’s security team is even marginally competent, they will recognize those contiguous blocks and treat them as they would a single IPv4 address. Every address in that block has the same prefix, and it’s actually easier to track on those prefixes than on the entire address.
Even truer for the National Guard when it has to call up soldiers.
State militias were never intended to fight the national government. In fact, they were intended to help fight insurrection.
Article 1, Section 8, Clause 15. The Congress shall have Power * * * To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions.
The same voices keep saying that Jan 6 was a peaceful protest that was misunderstood.
That’s not all bad. At least mom and dad are fighting over who gets custody of MAGA. It would actually kind of suck if Elon went back to pretending to be a good guy and fronting for liberals pretending to address climate change.
Absolutely, I just don’t think it actually helps Democrats in the long run to pave over their often deep flaws. If we were harder on Democrats 30 years ago, we probably wouldn’t have Trump today.
