The maximalist aims of the joint attack cast doubt on whether there had ever been any prospect of success for the US-Iranian negotiations in the preceding weeks, in which delegates discussed possible limits on uranium enrichment. Those talks, the latest round on Thursday, had been conducted under the shadow of what Trump called his “beautiful armada” gathering in the Middle East, the biggest US force in the region since the ill-fated 2003 Iraq invasion, and it now seems likely that only a complete capitulation on Iran’s part could stop this assembled American might being unleashed.

    A lot of us don’t.

    We just don’t own any news organizations, we aren’t billionaires, so you rarely hear about it.

    Sure, we could argue with the R and D dreamers every minute of every hour of every day, but there’s not much point to it.

    I vote, I just realize it’s for entertainment purposes only and it won’t actually accomplish anything of note.

      Yeah I’ve been saying we’re not likely to have real midterms since Trump won. My family members brushed me off at the time, but the last few weeks they seem to have come around. It’s possible they’re just humoring me after all this time but i really believe more and more people are becoming fully ready to support a movement that actually fights for people. The only issue now is organizing that movement and convincing everyone to stick with it. How hard could THAT be? :)
