Oh, someone on TV.
[yawn]
I don't touch the stuff.
I live in a major urban center, with over 30 channels available over the air. I don't get CNN. It's only available through cable services.Then you are completely out of touch with most of America.
So is everybody else in the country. We all spin in small circles. We have personal experiences and vicarious experiences. I choose the immediate, not the mediated, thank you.Then you are completely out of touch with most of America.
Congressman Keith Ellison, candidate of progressive Democrats and many regressive Democrats for chair of the Democratic National Committee eagerly urged the illegal and disastrous violent overthrow of the government of Libya in 2011, which he celebrated as a success despite what it meant for the rule of law, despite all the death and suffering, despite the predictable instability and weapons proliferation to follow.
Ellison moved on to pushing, and using his perch as co-chair of the Progressive Caucus to push, for a similar war on Syria. For years now he has advocated for the illegal and murderous creation of no fly zones and “safe zones” — what Hillary Clinton admitted only to Goldman Sachs would require that you “kill a lot of Syrians.” Ellison was an early backer of bombing Syria in 2013. He met with peace activists but rejected their appeal.
Back in 2007, before Ellison’s leadership, the Congressional Progressive Caucus had helped organize 90 Congress members to commit to voting against war funding. Most of them turned around and voted for war funding. That ridiculous disappointment was a high point for the CPC.
Is the DNC out of its fucking mind?
