I want them to say there is no urgent threat from Iran's nuclear or ballistic missile program to the United States.
Talk about how regime change wars have ended disastrously, both for the U.S., for the countries we launched them in, for the rest of the world.
Look at the migration crisis in Europe.
Like Trump has started something he cannot control.
It doesn't matter what he tells you.
And he now owns the consequences.
And then there's just the fact that like Americans don't want this.
There was a YouGov poll yesterday.
Very recently, like earlier this month, it asked, do you support or oppose the US using military force to attack Iran?
27% of adults supported it.
24% were not sure.
49% were somewhat or strongly opposed.
That include 54% of independents who opposed and 19% of Republicans who opposed the war.
So keep making that case, right?
Like Trump ran against this.
Democrats have to make that argument.
Like there's a war powers vote next week, which...
again, good on Ro Khanna and Thomas Massey for pushing this, but it's a little late guys.
You know, this is what you and I were complaining about last week.
We've been yelled at by people on Twitter, but you know, it's like now is not the time for, you know, long statements that are four paragraphs of throat clearing about how bad Iran is before we get to the heart of the matter, which is this being a catastrophically bad idea.
