Bring all the troops home from the middle east and put them to work in the USA private sector building renewable energy. It is time to end the age of ff.

3 of the last 4 decades have proven that outside military forces are not the answer for Afghanistan. Bring home all US forces.

Yup definitely time to sent upper management and the board of directors to jail. I will believe that companies are people when they start arresting them.

DNC Joe Manchin had us held hostage we can't pass SB1

Correct it was well over 5 trillion dollars which would have fully funded 100% renewable energy infrastructure in the USA ending the age of ff and ending the oil wars.

@mangu768 I want to know why we don't arrest corporations for failing to pay their personal income taxes. Even the mob learned that they couldn't mess with the IRS in the past.

Not so Raytheon and the rest of the military industrial complex mad about 5 trillion dollars that is great return on their investment in political campaigns. Better returns buying politicians than stocks.

@mangu768 I always thought it should have been the follow up case to citizens United. Once the supreme court declared them as people the IRS should have filed suits for unpaid taxes to the same companies that funded the first case. But you are correct the people profiting from bribery won't end the bribery that put them in power in the first place. Only rank choice voting and the people's party has any hope of doing that.

What did you want the USA to do stay there for another few decades?

Which is a direct result of letting the very wealthy buy politicians

@solidaritytime3650 same here and I was born in 73 the only difference is the foreign military was from the USSR when I was a child and from the USA when i was an adult.

@jlab1264 wow even your strawman arguments show your bigotry and racism.

Join the people's party and fight for rank choice voting. It is the only party that has written into the bylaws that they will not accept corporate funds.

@redixdoragon I was simply thinking down size the military as we end 2 decades of war we definitely don't need the same size in the military for peace time

@solidaritytime3650 my late uncle told me that splitting the atom gets credit for ending the cycle of war every 20 years but all it really did was stopped the major countries from confronting each other on the battle field it didn't correct the ecominic issues they went to war over. So instead they became bullies beating up smaller poorer countries to show how tough they are to the other major powers. Sad but true. We need to learn why post WWII the Marshall plan made the USA popular in both Japan and Tiawan. To this day in Tiawan the citizens will lay flowers at the monuments to American generals who liberated the island and rebuilt their economy. You dont see that anywhere else. It blew my mind when I was there a few years back.

@robertrichard6107 my post was that bother the USSR and the USA had long wars in Afghanistan alone. 10 years for the USSR and 20 for the USA

@redixdoragon than maybe we shouldn't have the president begging OPEC for higher output to lower gas prices...

@redixdoragon same here unfortunately the bar was so low that if he doesn't turn the military on our own citizens it was an improvement over the last administration. But the neoliberals are not up to the challenges our society faces in 2021.
