These progressive lawmakers are true heroes because they are displaying a seriousness about ending the war

Sirota babbles on:

These progressive lawmakers are true heroes because they are displaying a seriousness about ending the

war, rather than merely a seriousness about protesting the war. Protest and pressure are critical in

the lead up to legislative action – but when it comes time for that action, they hire lawmakers to do

just that: make laws.

What sophistry: there is nothing in this bill that would seriously end the war, and Sirota knows it.

Anyone can see that there are enough loopholes in this “serious” legislation to drive a few tanks

through. It is typical, hotheyver, of these “pragmatic” types that their “pragmatism” is eminently

impractical, and almost never leads to the intended result. The reality is that this “emergency

supplemental” funds the continuation of the war: without it, the war could not be fought. By voting

for it, and supporting it, “antiwar” Democrats and the party bosses are giving the MBT sport shoes

war their imprimatur.

In another typical “pragmatist” trope, Sirota avers that antiwar opponents of the Pelosi measure are

“just blowing off contrarian steam,” and that it is them who are really “selling out,” because, you

see, “the contrairians [sic] are selling out – selling out a viable way to end the war in order to

grandstand for the cameras.”
