Why Democrats Should Become the Anti-War Party (Only 20 Congress Members Want to Stop Trump's War Powers)
Manage episode 489797325 series 3671676
We're six days into what could spiral into World War III, and only 20 members of Congress think maybe Trump shouldn't have unilateral war powers. Meanwhile, Democratic leadership keeps pushing the same losing "moderate" strategy.
In this episode, I explain why the anti-war position IS the moderate position Democrats should embrace. Trump's base is already splitting over potential war with Iran - Tucker Carlson and Steve Bannon are warning it would "end Trump's presidency." But instead of capitalizing on this, Democrats are following AIPAC scripts and proposing bailout funds for a healthcare system that's bleeding us dry.
If Democrats want to stop losing to convicted felons, they need to become the party that delivers for working people - not the party that delivers bombs and corporate bailouts.
We also dive into the healthcare crisis (projected $77 trillion in spending over the next decade), why privatization has failed, and what it would actually look like for Democrats to present a vision of government that works.
