So much for pushing Biden left

[–] Kalkaline@leminal.space 2 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Biden and Harris are not it if you want to push Democrats and the country left. They aren't as far right as Trump and his buddies, but the are left of center but pretty classic Democrats. Bernie was the guy to push things left, but the Democrats rejected him. Without a good progressive candidate in place to challenge in the primary, we won't see that push left. This election it's Harris as the best bet for keeping Republicans from doing serious long term damage to this country.

The US’s currently level of military aid is unsustainable, even for the most wealthy empire in history. Domestic production has been showing signs of not being able to keep up for a while now.

That’s hard to look at.

I wonder what Ukraine could have done with an extra $12 billion.

I see some of the earlier spending during the Cold War. Seems we saw the writing on the wall before the collapse.

Per year of course, a cumulative chart could never go down.
