3 days agoNot quite as shitty as it looks, for him. Not sure if anybody told Trump yet, but the richest Ukrainian mineral resource deposits are all in the east, under the territory occupied by the Russians.
It’s not about this being some sort of firewall to stop him in his tracks or anything, the opportunity for that was last election, and we failed. It’s now about being an effective opposition, just like they try do when we win.
To paraphrase AOC, there needs to be sand in his gears. Yeah, he can push a lot of stuff through anyway, but we definitely want it to be as difficult as possible, costing them extra effort.
Here’s a kinda tired-seeming AOC chit chatting about all this stuff for 90 minutes on livestream:
