When we talk about the differences between Corporate Dems and real Progressives we usually focus on domestic policy (with Israel being the one exception). Here’s another key foreign policy difference: the Corporatists have no problem with imperialism and regime change in other nations.
Debbie Wasserman Schultz called Maduro's capture "welcome news" but criticized Trump for "apparently failing to notify Congress beforehand".

This is the neoliberal position in a nutshell: Substantively fine with regime change and imperial power projection, just mad about process.

Most Democrats are blasting the Trump administration after the U.S. conducted an operation to capture Venezuela's leader, Nicolás Maduro.

New reporting shows that Trump’s split with his pedophile friend was opportunistic.

JD Vance says we captured Maduro because of cocaine.

Does he seriously think Americans forgot that Trump just pardoned a former Honduran president convicted in the U.S. for flooding the country with over 400 tons of cocaine?

THIS really is the best answer to “why criticize the Democrats when the GOP is doing all this illegal shit?”

#PrimaryCorpDemsNow
the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches

Literally DOZENS of countries have done it already. What they haven’t done though is provide universal healthcare via predatory capitalism. Some basic life commodities should not be subject to profit taking. Period.

I'm here willing to read anything someone puts together that details how we can get from here to there

I'm all for universal healthcare. Tell me how we get there.

The good news is that we don't need to read the report. Voters hate the party and we hate the leadership. The country is literally coming apart at the seams and we blame you. Entirely. Hide all you want, we know who's at fault. And we know who the consultants are. You're fucked. I promise.
BREAKING: The Democratic National Committee will NOT release its long-awaited autopsy on Trump's 2024 win. The report is completed but Dem leaders decided it could distract from their winning streak, so it will remain secret. Not good.

If Trump announces a new war with Venezuela, three things must happen immediately:
1. Congress move to impeach him for declaring war without approval
2. US military announce their refusal to comply with illegal orders
3. UNSC resolution to condemn war, even against US opposition.

This is caused primarily by dehumanization of specific groups of people. Anytime you downgrade someone’s basic humanity you create the conditions for killing them.

Humanity will not evolve beyond this violent stage we are in now until we all learn to treat everyone as human beings.
Intentionally killing innocent people is always wrong.

Wherever in the world it happens.

You might think everyone agrees with this simple moral principle, and yet far too many people, on far too many different sections of the political spectrum, try and make exceptions to it.

If we're not at war, Pete Hegseth is a murderer. If we are at war, Pete Hegseth is still a murderer. He's a murderer. And you don't need to go to The Hague to hold him accountable because there are perfectly good, American laws AGAINST MURDER.

No matter how you look at the strikes on alleged “drug boats”—as acts of war or attacks on civilians—Hegseth has committed a crime and should be prosecuted.

💯. The fact that NO one from the Bush administration went to prison for: Iraq, Abu Grahib, Gitmo, rendition and black site torture, etc, etc is EXACTLY why Trump and co. is doing what it’s doing today. They know for a FACT they won’t be held accountable.
