Every goddamn time there's a change in party in the White House, all of a sudden, we antiwar types have a shallow pool of allies that will disappear again in 4-8 years. Not a principled one among them.

Trump’s genocide in Yemen is most instructive. Team D made high minded speeches and even passed a resolution, giving Trump an off-ramp.

Trump vetoed it.

Then, once that genocide became Biden's genocide, those same stalwart human rights advocates suddenly developed amnesia.

They did the same when Biden continued all of Trump’s immigration policies, including those immigrant detention centers they called concentration camps when Trump was in charge of them.

You can’t count on liberals for jack.
