I hadn't thought about Dostum since leaving there in 2017 but gently caress that guy and the horse he rode in on from the north https://twitter.com/NYTimesAtWar/status/1261662448261701633?s=20 quote:KABUL, Afghanistan — The two sides in the monthslong dispute over Afghanistan’s presidential election are close to signing a power-sharing deal, the terms of which include a significant promotion for a former vice president who is accused of abducting, torturing and attempting to rape a political rival while in office.

Maybe she just doesn’t support it but even so, “we can’t achieve the impossible so we need to set our sights on the achievable right now” is reasonable. M4A isn’t going to be the next major healthcare bill that passes even if Sanders was President.

I have always thought 1st Cav's enormous unit patch, large enough that it breaks the uniform, was so stupid that you had to respect it. A giant horse for a bunch of helicopter idiots.

It is, and I'll enjoy the next few hours while that's the tone in here. It wasn't THAT long ago that she was being lumped in with people like Biden and McCain because she strayed from the one true path.

All of this because you think other people have a different opinion of a politician? Nobody here hates Tammy Duckworth you dinks. She's just not particularly impressive, politically speaking. Obviously her military career was badass, but in Congress she's as close to generic D as you can get. It seems to me that she's more of a GIP meme just like Diamond Joe was a few years ago. And boy howdy, I sure love hearing the same dumb joke whenever someone says she should "run" for president. Also the majority of voters support M4A. Why isn't that achievable then? Why do we need to set our sights lower than what the majority of Americans want? Seriously ask yourselves that.

Searched the forums, found very little anti-Duckworth sentiment--mostly some meh-ing and most of it in D&D. Unless there's some sort of codeword for poo poo-talking Duckworth I don't know about.

When the choices are "which senile white rapist do you want?" then I'll take it as a ray of sunshine that Duckworth might get VP. Not my personal favorite for the slot but I'll take it.

Especially the way people are framing it, like those dang childish lefties are ruining our chances of getting more "reasonable" policies enacted. Politicians saying they don't support a popular policy because it's not likely to pass should be a huge mark against them. That's their whole drat job, to get popular policies to pass. They're admitting defeat without even putting up a fight.
