Hands Off is a pro-NATO, pro-war, pro-Israel org. Which is why you saw the likes of Nancy Pelosi as featured speakers.
Alright, guess we should pack it in. Failed the purity test. Can't make progress this time around folks, maybe next time we'll find a pure enough movement.
(I didn't see ANYTHING about Hands Off being pro-war or pro-Israel. But I guess not explicitly saying it's ANTI those things, means they're pro? Get the fuck outta here with your black and white thinking, asshole)
What exactly is it that you think NATO does?
How about you tell us.

Allowing perfect to be the enemy of progress is how we got 47 in office again. Every. Single. Nation state. Commits war crimes. All of them. You (and a shit ton of other puritans) need to manage your risk model better. We need to do what we can in the face of injustice and electing warmongering Republicans into office ain't that. We can't negotiate with them. We would have been able to negotiate with a Harris administration.
Yeah, y’all already tried that with the ‘we can push Biden left’ bullshit.
You don’t oppose fascism. You just want blue instead of red fascism. You helped get us here by enabling Dem fascism. Now stay out of our way, while we unfuck this so we never have to live through another Republican or Democrat regime again.
Best of luck.
