One day America will have to face up to the reality that its military is not the solution to the world’s problems. It’s one of the causes.

Sacrifice for what?

As much as Trump should apologize to the Khan family for his rude and thoughtless remarks, shouldn’t the architects and administrators of the war that killed Humayun Khan also apologize?

The failure to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, the lack of any operative connection between Saddam Hussein and Al-Qaeda, and the creation of a terrorist playground in place of a once stable, albeit oppressive and miserable, country has led the overwhelming majority of Americans to view the war as a “mistake” and “not worth it.” The Iraq War, like the Vietnam War before it, was unnecessary, stupid and destructive.

“It’s a funky place to be – especially for the traditional Black, brown and labor “base” of the party, now squished into a remote and malodorous corner of the tent, near the latrine, clutching the pages of a party platform that was never meant to bind anyone. These Democratic stalwarts appear intoxicated, high on the idea that they are part of a united front against the “fascist” Donald Trump and his imaginary storm troopers.”

Sometimes Trump is absolutely correct. Stopped watches etc.

“The names on this letter are the ones the American people should look to for answers on why the world is a mess, and we thank them for coming forward so everyone in the country knows who deserves the blame for making the world such a dangerous place. They are nothing more than the failed Washington elite looking to hold onto their power, and it’s time they are held accountable for their actions.” — fair point.

Now that the 2Evils, all those arguments about the NonExistenceOfProtestVotes™ are sounding a little on the moot side.

The reality is that right now is an excellent opportunity to consider a 3rdParty vote.

But if you are worried about >2Evils bouncing back at the last minute, just be smart about it and keep watching the polls carefully before casting your vote. Don’t give the <2Evils an automatic mandate and keep holding those evil feet to the fire!

Now might be a good time for American liberals to ask themselves: why do they hate democracy so much?
