Donations for War on Iran, Tim Canova

[Warren DeMontague]

71. That's right. And I am strongly supporting Tim Canova.

I would prefer she be replaced, in her primary, by a better Democrat for a number of reasons, but probably near the top of the list is that DWS is regarded by many on cannabis as the Democratic "prohibitionist in Chief".

It's not important to you, okay. It is to me.

You're correct about me donating to his campaign, but that doesn't mean I - or anyone else here, really - bear any resemblance to the straw caricatures you have created in this thread.

Here are examples of what I mean:

the same people who cannot forgive Clinton for her vote on Iraq are now eager to donate to a candidate who opposes peace with Iran.

That's a strawman.

selective outrage about war is in keeping with cries to return to the America of fifty years ago, resurrecting the heyday of the US capitalist empire, when the global south was firmly under the thumb of the US and the white bourgeoisie reaped the profits from their exploitation and death. It's clear the problem is not capitalism or empire but making sure the right people prosper from it.

Yep. Strawman, again.

add war on Iran to women's reproductive rights, unfettered profits for gun corporations, genocidal gun violence, the Minutemen and the Wall, a trillion and growing for the F-35, environmental racism, vast inequality in k-12 education, and all the other issues that just aren't really important. Resentment over an already decided primary and political patronage relationships...

straw, straw, straw, and more straw with a side of straw on a lovely bed of artisinal straw.

Lastly, as has been pointed out, DWS and Canova are on the exact same page re: the Iran deal at this point- originally opposed, now in support. So that kind of makes this whole exercise extra-pointless, does it not?
