"Coriolanus may be incessant, and there are killfile options if you stare unbearably annoyed, but he's essentially on the right track.
There is an element in the democrat party (and the left historically) which is PEP (Progressive Except for Palestine).
The democrats' greatest weaknesses are their support for Israel and the ever-increasing security state."

"PEP" is an apt term for the Januses: Democratic Party in the US/Likud Party in Israel.
If 73,041 Israelis were slaughtered in the Gaza Strip, 20,179 of them children, I would be "incessant" about stopping the killing of those Jews.
The Gaza Strip is an American taxpayer-funded abbatoir which makes "suckers and losers" of us in the US.
Particularly galling is that nuclear-armed Israel is a wealthy country with world class universal healthcare for all of their residents AND Israel gets America to send them free money every year while our military helps kill Muslims for them.
Now the American taxpayer is on the hook for $101bn and even less money for our social safety nets-- never mind just thinking about universal healthcare.

Pulte is a perfect storm of a horrible choice for this job.
But, then, name one competent person with integrity serving in this regime ...
No, really, please, give it a whirl, I'm seriously curious.
