    I’m not saying I’m not frequently disappointed in them - but demanding perfection immediately seems to work even less well.

    And as for “stopping Iran” i know there’s a bunch of plans that don’t involve random school bombings, which just speaks to the derangement and incompetence of the people who supposedly won the election. We would have had better than that. By a lot. The world would have had better.

      I’m really not demanding perfection. Like look I’d love to see all kinds of stuff I think are no-brainers, good policy, whatever. If the Democrats tomorrow said “no more arms to Israel” I’d still have a million and one complaints…no question they’re not perfect. That’s not perfection that’s like…minimal human decency. They can keep funding ICE keep carrying out regime change wars keep fucking everyone over on healthcare and the environment and labor rights and all that. But arming israel? No; come on. That’s not “demanding perfection”
