Rhodes dropping truth bombs—primary those war hawks or pack it in!
what a big L i E !!!
I agree. They also need to be willing to get rid of party leadership if they decide to fund this illegal war.
Fetterman’s brain worm
Rhodes is right: you can’t spend four years calling the administration an ‘existential threat to democracy’ and then hand that same administration a blank check to start a regime-change war in Iran. If ‘democracy’ and ‘human rights’ are your core values, you don’t vote to fund the bombing of Isfahan and Shiraz. This isn’t just about foreign policy; it’s about whether the Democratic party actually stands for anything other than ‘not being Trump.’ Primaries are the only way to ensure the party doesn’t just become GOP-Lite on national security.
The irony is that the same Democrats who are terrified of the Schedule F purge just voted to give the President total war powers. They are literally funding the distraction that the White House is using to dismantle the civil service at home. Rhodes is pointing out the ultimate hypocrisy: you can’t claim to be protecting our institutions while you’re helping the executive branch bypass Congress to prosecute a war of choice. If they won’t stand against ‘Epic Fury,’ they won’t stand against anything else this administration does.
Didn’t expect a two time NASCAR truck series champion to take such a bold progressive stance, but good on him.
