Would luv to know who in “our war” equates as the “anti-establishment” side, currently serving as US’s elected officials? Thanks.

If they are in congress or government in any way they cannot be anti-establishment, they are de facto part of the establishment.

Like a dog, I seem to have returned to my own vomit. There’s some radical impulse in me which I must root out that gives anyone who receives a federal paycheck any political grace whatsoever.

Currently serving? Geez, hard question. Maybe Rand Paul. Joe Mansion. Marjorie Taylor Greene. Matt Geatz. I understand some of these people turn our collective stomachs ... mine too ... but there are not guaranteed establishment votes.

Regardless of how offensive you may find those people they do actually speak the truth on rare occasions.

I'm curious to hear that, too. I think Liz Warren and Bernie Sanders are to some extent, but they lack either the resources (time to deeply research issues) or the courage to have much in the way of independent thought about geopolitics.

Or the backing. The DNC will leg anybody who goes against the Hillary agenda. And yes, she and Nancy Baloney and Wasserman Shultz (Achtung) are very much in control of the DNC. Still.

Sanders in particular is all-in for more more war in Ukraine.

The man has less backbone than a whipped dog.

Warren and Bernie are part of the establishment, they are the people selling the opposition message, giving hope to those who want to be anti-establishment that it can be accomplished via the establishment.
