It is making us all
less safe.
And I don't get the hesitation to just take on the war, on the merits, on the substance, and focus on that.
But what are you looking for from Democrats?
And we should say, the Senate might have a war powers vote this week.
The House won't be in session until Thursday to have any kind of deliberation or vote on this.
I think there's some US senators who are concerned that a war powers vote actually might just be taken care of.
Trump might be able to
push away the kind of concerns over congressional authorization too quickly.
And what we really need is a vote in the debate about an AUMF and authorization for the use of military force in Iran, which would actually be harder to get because it would take a 60 vote threshold versus 50 votes.
But that's a bit in the weeds.
But what are you looking for from Democrats?
Yeah, lean into this.
The Washington Post did a flash poll.
52% of Americans oppose the war, 39% support it.
But the opponents are far more passionate.
Don't you think?
40% like strongly oppose and an overwhelming majority of independents oppose this war.
So like you are on sound political footing.
You are on 100% sound legal and moral footing.
