At the risk of adding to the flood of hot takes about the election, I think it's worth reminding people about the realities of the political situation here in America.
Unfortunately what you’ve said is exactly correct.
The fact that almost all of our elected officials in the upper echelons of our government are spineless cowards who put their political aspirations above staying anywhere close to being on the right side of history is absolutely despicable.
Not only are we in the US party to a genocide without our consent, the net effect of all of this is seriously setting us back as a species in trying to work cooperatively with everyone else on the planet to try to solve all of the problems we all share.
The people, like Senator Graham, who are in favor of killing people in foreign countries because it increases profits at US defense Contractors and jobs throughout the MIC contractors and subcontractors spread throughout the USA, are in favor of directly encouraging genocide.
I presume the religion they purport to follow makes it a sin to kill people.
Providing bombs for your henchmen to do it, is still genocide.
I am afraid that making the case against supporting, paying for, and defending genocide, because the money could be spent to help "people at home" by funding Progressive legislation is VERY SIMILAR to being in favor of genocide because it provides employment for "people at home".
It would be nicer to have a culture that would not tolerate genocide, without regard for what extra money becomes available to spent at home as a result. Is there a profit threshold that makes it lucrative enough to attack a country and kill a couple of million people?
Or to pay a Proxy to do it for you?
Given the number of military operations since WW2, there must be.
EXCELLENT post! Thank you.
The work continues indeed ✊🏻 we WILL hold our elected officials accountable
