Donations for War on Iran, Tim Canova

[BainsBane]

50. It most certainly is not a strawperson

I wrote this because of arguments for people to send money to Canova. I can't help observe that the same people who refuse to forgive Clinton for a vote 15 years ago suddenly are rallying to fund someone who opposes peace with Iran.

I can't speak to what DWS would or wouldn't do. None of that, however, justifies promoting a warmonger as some leftist hero, and sending money to fund his opposition to the peace with Iran.

However, Clinton set the negotiations with Iran into motion, so if DWS supports that because Obama and Clinton do, fair enough. It's a hell of a lot better than war. You see, I think war and peace actually matter more than the politics of personality and patronage. I guess that's why I just don't qualify as a "progressive." If I were, I'd understand that what matters is not the war but who the warmonger backed in a primary in a single election.

I would caution you to stop projecting your own approach to politics onto me.
