We don’t understand it either, Congressman. Although on another level we understand perfectly: our govt does more to serve short term profits for defense contractors than it does to serve the health and well-being of the average American citizen.

The Build Back Better Act will cost $175 billion per year The defense budget: $768 billion this year alone, and much of it goes to defense contractors. I don’t understand why the first is called “irresponsible spending” and the second does not get scrutiny.

Poor communication skills, particularly failing to connect with the voters and bad salesmanship on your party’s part is the problem @RoKhanna.

I am afraid this status-quo won’t be changed just by voting. The oligarchy must see the people’s rage close to their fortified and guarded doors.

Yet you keep empowering these very people pushing the established lie they are some "lesser evil". You are why there is no accountability.

YES! ... in my opinion ... spending $768 billion dollars a year on defense ... more than the next (11) largest countries in the world combined ... is ... Irresponsible and Insane!

The Democratic Party exists to collaborate with the GOP in serving Corporate Power and vast Private Wealth. Khanna and his "Squad" colleagues are part of the Good Cop/Bad Cop Scam. Reject the Duopoly. #Voted4MyLastDem

Its organized theft and it's a shame no one with a platform calls it what it is.
