the problem is, since we're not a parliamentary system nor do we have ranked choice voting, what you're suggesting just divides the left and MAGA wins more

so we are stuck with the need to treat the democratic party as an empty vessel and take it over

third parties are not the way as a matter of what is functionally possible

“According to two defense officials familiar with the initial assessments of the Israeli attacks in Iran, there is increasing likelihood that Israel succeeded in killing Maj. Gen. Mohammad Bagheri, the chief of staff of Iran’s armed forces, along with several senior commanders of the Revolutionary Guards and leading scientists involved in the country’s nuclear program.”

Moments ago: "[Trump's] actions were illegal—both exceeding the scope of his statutory authority and violating the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. He must therefore return control of the California National Guard to the Governor of the State of California forthwith." Charles R. Breyer

KHANNA: Can you assure the American people you will respect the SCOTUS decision on this matter about whether the Marines are constitutional, and you will respect the district courts when they rule?

HEGSETH: What I can say is we should not have local judges determining foreign policy or national security policy for the country

KHANNA: So you're not willing to say you would respect those decisions?

Trump Bringing WWIII...

For anyone who mistakenly thinks the United States has not coordinated with Israel:

On April 12, Trump gave 60 days to reach a deal with Iran

Today is the 61st DAY!

Israel just bombed nuclear sites in Iran because they feel under threat of a possible nuclear strike.

Iran wouldn’t have had a nuclear program if it weren’t for Trump unilaterally pulling the U.S out of the Iran Nuclear Agreement during his first term in the WH.

Had Trump not pulled out of the agreement, Iran would not have restarted their nuclear program and Israel wouldn’t be starting a possible nuclear war in the Middle East.

Racist In the White House!

Trump's DHS looks remarkably similar to the pre civil rights era of the 1960s!

By law, Pres may only federalize Nat Guard of a State if U.S. is (about to be) invaded or there is a (imminent) rebellion against U.S. govt or if Pres is unable to execute fed laws with regular forces.

“This attack did not happen in a vacuum. For days, Hamas has openly threatened our team, our aid workers, and the civilians who receive aid from us. These threats were met with silence.

The GHF holds Hamas fully responsible for taking the lives of our dedicated workers who have been distributing humanitarian aid to the Palestinian people at the foundation's sites in central and southern Gaza.

Tonight, the world must see this for what it is: an attack on humanity. We call on the international community to immediately condemn Hamas for this unprovoked attack and continued threat against our people simply trying to feed the Palestinian people.

We will release additional information once it becomes available. Despite this heinous attack, we will continue our mission to provide critical aid to the people of Gaza.”
