For those too young to remember, not only is Glenn right about this, but Obama further enshrined Bush's worst civil liberties transgressions. And even took them a step further with extra-judicial killing.
In 2006, Dems won a massive midterm victory due to anger over the Iraq War and Bush's unpopularity.
The assumption was they'd end the war. Pelosi's first act when elected Speaker was to say they won't defund the war: in part due to cowardice over the political fallout, in part because so many Dems ideologically opposed ending the war, in part because they wanted to run in 2008 with the Iraq War still ongoing to help them win the WH.
Does anyone think the Dems will now use control of the Senate and House to just de-fund the war, as they clearly have the power to do?

Democrats winning means nothing if foreign policy doesn't change and the architects of the Gaza genocide aren't held accountable.
True justice starts with holding war criminals accountable, not political celebrations.ππ»π

You guys do realize that winning in an election isn't an achievement in and of itself right? Every time democrats win you elate yourselves to the moon over your "victory" and then it's crickets when those candidates fail horribly and give in to the far right every step of the way

Too many people are forgetting that it was the Biden administration that decided to declare the end of the pandemic unscientifically bc the capitalists weren't making enough money and, if we're being real, bc people were radicalizing.

Americans are too easily pacified by comfortable lies from their government.
