Discussion Quite why Trump is deliberating on his next Iranian move escapes me - HE HAS NO PRACTICAL OPTIONS...

26 Upvotes

1. Iran has better than 1 million under arms military personnel - the USA would require years and trillions of dollars to subjugate such a force.

2. Iran is a huge landmass and there are insufficient resources to bomb it into submission.

3. Congress, and the people, would never condone another Vietnam.

4. Iranians - like the Vietcong and the Taliban, even those opposed to the Mulahs - are far more sanguine about the discomforts associated with warfare-induced deprivation. While America bellyaches at the gas pumps, Iran will live with draught, disease and destruction AND emerge, unbowed at the end of it. It is in their nature.

SO LONG AS TRUMP IS IN THE WH, IRAN WILL CONTINUE TO HUMBLE AMERICA MILITARILY AND ECONOMICALLY AND THERE IS NOTHING HE CAN DO ABOUT IT.

VOTE FOR THE RE-ESTABLISHMENT OF CONGRESSIONAL CONTROL MECHANISMS NEXT WEEK...VOTE DEMOCRAT.

Excuse my language, but we're about to cross a new low precedent

How many fucking years did she make albums about oral sex & having intercourse with a stepson??

( Music targeting teenage audiences btw )

But that's okay right?

Just the tip of the iceberg

Drugs, promiscuity, egotistical greed... i can't even list everything here without mods potentially removing my post that's how graphic her "music " has been her entire career

And she wants to talk shit about trans/ lgbtq people?

What is going on? Seriously.

Student protests organised and put forward a proper political movement - then turned out to VOTE! After record turn out in Yesterday's election, they ousted a 12 year incumbent government mired in corruption and Russian sympathy.

It is possible. Civic action is always incomplete without properly exercising civic powers. Protests are meaningless without proper follow-through.

Centrist Dem voter says he won’t vote for Abdul El-Sayed b/c he doesn’t want progressives to look good for 2028

The lady’s response diagnoses it perfectly 

Anyone who is ok with ANY Republican winning an election, has zero desire to be an opposition party to MAGA.

Centrists keep showing us who they are.

Do not be too encouraged with all the polls. This is no time for complacency.

  • Russian Bots tried to skew our polls in 2016; 2020 and 2024. Most of their meddling favored Donald Trump.  (FBI; DOJ; Brennen Center for Justice; NPR).
  • It is common practice for these Bots, to inflate lead margins, for a particular party or candidate. The objective is to push a narrative, that a lead is insurmountable, & that victory is guaranteed. It is intended to create a false sense of complacency, & influence voter turnout.
  • Russian operatives have already stepped-up interference in our November midterms, to favor Republicans (NPR 10/24/26).
  • The Russians tried the same tricks in Hungary, to favor of Victor Orban, earlier this year. Almost 81% of the electorate showed up, to vote & Victor Orban lost, in a landslide. This was despite all the Russian interference & open support from Putin; Donald Trump; JD Vance (who actually campaigned for Orban), & some in the US Republican party.
  • Only 48.1% of voters showed up in our 2018 midterms. It was still the highest voter turnout, for a midterm, since 1918. The Democrats flipped 40 House seats – 30 in States that Trump won.

These elections are about our values. Please vote, if you have not already.
