Should our president (or VP) publicly berate the leader of any country who is an ally? That just seems counterproductive and undiplomatic. Fine to have tough conversations privately.

 @LlamaDaveGreenfrom Illinois  disagreed…2yrs2Y

I don't know. I am at wits end. He doesn't care about what he's told privately. And I think she needs to signal to her base that she is different than Biden on this.

 @PumaEverlyRepublican from Texas  disagreed…2yrs2Y

I understand the frustration but this is not something that would be done to European leaders who we may not like.

 @LlamaDaveGreenfrom Illinois  disagreed…2yrs2Y

Agreed. But none of them is starving two million people.

Sadly- the US has long been an “ally” with too many countries that are apartheid, commit genocide, are ‘authoritarian’, etc. - hence why much of the Global South sees us as total hypocrites

Bernie Sanders Charges Ahead As Democrats Stall Out

Bernie Sanders launched a tour in red states like Iowa and Nebraska to rally opposition to Donald Trump’s agenda, drawing massive crowds—thousands in Omaha and overflow audiences in Iowa City.Unlike the Democratic Party’s muted response to Trump’s election, Sanders is actively challenging the administration’s plutocratic policies, focusing on billionaire influence and federal deregulation.In Iowa City, Sanders spoke to packed venues, delivering back-to-back speeches to accommodate attendees, a first in his political career, highlighting his enduring appeal.He criticized Trump’s inner circle, including billionaires Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg, who attended the inauguration, and warned of their control over federal agencies.Sanders galvanized the crowd with historical references—suffrage, slavery, independence—urging grassroots action to counter Trump’s planned $1 trillion tax cuts for the rich and cuts to programs like Medicaid.Attendees expressed frustration with Democratic leaders like Hakeem Jeffries, calling their opposition to Trump weak or nonexistent, while praising Sanders for providing direction.Sanders highlighted the slim Republican House majority (three seats), suggesting constituent pressure could sway vulnerable GOP members to block Trump’s reconciliation bill.Early signs show GOP walkbacks—like Trump’s false claim Medicaid won’t be cut—after outrage over federal grant pauses disrupted services, proving grassroots impact.The crowd, mostly liberal, cheered Sanders’ defense of reproductive rights and jeered Trump’s USAID cuts and Zelensky attacks, though some noted a shift in his base—younger Trump supporters absent.Sanders ended with Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, framing the fight as a timeless struggle against billionaire rule, inspiring attendees like Audrey to re-engage and Erin to find hope in solidarity.
