[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Been a democrat all my life, voted for Obama, Clinton and reluctantly for Biden over the last election.
What happened to the party? This use to be the party of free speech, anti-war, about freedom of religion and about helping the poor and disaffected that were hurt by the pains of globalization.

I have seen over the past decade the party being completely co-opted by the military industrial complex, to the point where people are foaming at the mouth over wanting to fight in Ukraine. I have seen the party completely ditch the struggling blue collar worker to get into bed with large tech billionaires. I have seen it now completely on the side of censorship and the use of authoritarian tactics when it comes with dealing with oppositional speech.

The democratic party now reminds me of the neocons of the Bush era? Anyone else get this feeling?

I feel the same way. I participated in anti-war marches. Where has our party gone???[/quote]

Our troops are not fighting this war. That is the whole point. Hopefully there is never a time when circumstances change that situation. Maybe the GOP pulling funding from Ukraine gives Russia an advantage that necessitates our leaders pondering actually deploying our troops, but territorial integrity and respect for the world order where differences are resolved without bloodshed should be the goal.

Do you think it is ok for Russia to simply take Ukrainian land, rape Ukrainian women and deport Ukrainian kids back to Russia to "repatriate" them? it is either acceptable or it isn't. If it isn't, then supporting Ukrainians in this battle is the best solution short of Russia deciding to just leave, which obviously isn't going to happen.[/quote]
NP.  I hear you.  But after twenty years of constant lies from our military about Afghanistan and Iraq ( and many other places, too) I really have a hard time believing anything about Ukraine.  I really want to but after the two decades of betrayal from 3 administrations AND THE MILITARY, I just can’t do it.[/quote]
