@theAmericanBen Israel stole US nuclear tech, kills us citizens, spies on us, corrupts our politics and leads us to war against people with whom we have no quarrel of our own
Wait isn’t this the same prescription that gave us Trumpism two times? Fierce campaign rhetoric but ape Republican economic policy? A different course would be to actually provide tangible benefits to voters like jobs, health care, higher wages, and relief from excessive prices. Might even stave off fascism for a few cycles. What @TheEconomist doesn’t get is that the goal is not to just to win the next election, but instead to build a political coalition like FDR that will endure through several elections.
