It’s not enough to just talk about it. It’s time to put real political force behind repudiating the military industrial complex. commondreams.org/views/2021/…

We must absolutely cut the defense budget. I have low expectations for the Squad on that front. If they're this ineffective on the issues they're vocal about, what can we really expect on something like foreign policy, which they almost never mention? issuechronicle.com/playing-b…

Democrats have major corporate interest overseas Marianne. I was in the military for twenty years and all we did was provide muscle for corporate interests overseas. You know, the interest that donate to politicians. Never gonna happen Marianne.

I’d be pleasantly surprised, but I’m not holding my breath.

I'm sure Putin and done other countries are glad to see you success. BTW, the military industry all together is worth less than a single company called Google or Apple or Microsoft. You people need to update facts.

Biden has to have a big military budget in order to start his 'Wag the Dog' war when he needs to in order to divert attention from his failures as president and the developing issues with his son Hunter Biden that will negatively impact his party in 2022 elections.

AOC is a quasi-progressive. She has shown by her actions that she has bent the knee to the dynastic plutocratic families, the corporate oligarchs, and the international banksters.

We are almost certain to lose the House & perhaps the Senate & McConnell & Jordan will return to their horrific agendas. Biden is actually listening to the majority of Americans for a change, yet still moving progressively. How about some "At a boy"!

They won’t do shit. The squad has been carrying water for establishment Democrats since they chose not to #ForceTheVote. $15 min wage- NOPE. M4A-NOPE. Kids in cages-YEP. BLM-NOPE. $2,000 checks- NOPE. At least he’s not Trump, right?

Yes ... our military spending does need to be cut by at least a third ... We now spend more on defense than the next 11 largest countries in the world combined ... It's time to fight for Sanity! ... Not Senseless Spending!
