re: #263 Killgore Trout
The “anti-war” thing is another one of those topics that I don’t think either side is properly addressing. It’s one of those topics where I think we’re all missing the point. The anti-war left is just as screwed by the Dems as the anti-abortion right is screwed by the Republicans. I agree that it would be great if we could give up our defense spending but that’s not going to happen no matter which side is in power. There’s a reason for that although I don’t know what the reason is. I know it’s not the desired narrative around here but I don’t think war with Iran is any more or less likely no matter who won the election.
Right. Defense cuts means “giving up on defense spending.”
