Nuclear war

I know were still way off from nuclear war but it got me thinking.
If Russia launched nukes at the US, should the US do the same?

A Russian nuclear attack would ravage the world environment, but if the US retalliates it would double the damage.

Biden/Harris for 2024

Sounds great, further indication Biden may run for reelection in 2024. I'd rather see Kamala on the Supreme Court, but it's good to see Biden has full faith in her as VP.


"Biden says Harris will be his running mate should he run in 2024 and praises her on voting rights"

Creating progressives voters

We know congressman like Manch8n and Sinema need to be primaries out. But how do you do this when a States population is moderate and a progressive would have a landslide defeat in the general election?

To do this we need a significant increase in progressive voters in those states, in the millions. Exactly how do we do this?

Al Qaeda coming back

Taliban are bad but they're not the main problem. Al Qaeda will be back soon and will be hitting America again. I have a feeling well be back in Afghanistan again in about 5 years.

(CNN)Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley said Sunday in a briefing for Senators that terrorist groups like al Qaeda could reconstitute in Afghanistan sooner than the two years defense officials had previously estimated to Congress because of the recent, rapid Taliban takeover of the country, according to a Senate aide briefed on the comments.
