I've never cited counterpunch
I cited the BBC and Wired.com in the post you quoted
The clip in question cited as 'Collateral Murder' shows American soldiers actively committing war crimes. That's a pretty big deal
The US government admitted it was valid by prosecuting and convicting Manning for leaking it. Not only that, you can tell it's valid by watching the clip, these are American pilots with American accents in Baghdad firing on a group of innocent people, including two AP journalists and two children. Are you implying this clip is a fabrication? That it's 'fake', that it never happened? That two American journalists were not killed?
Is the translation false or misleading?
I did cite multiple mainstream sources. You've denied them all claiming they're fake, just like Trump does with anything he doesn't like
No shit. That's exactly what tty and I have been saying since 2016. Our policies are largely pretty center of the road, economics being slightly left of center. That's why it's easy for people who call themselves conservatives to understand and support our policies and that's why Sanders receives standing ovations in deep red states/districts whenever he visits them. Things like universal healthcare, universal college, a living wage, etc. are not exclusive to the left. Many conservatives and independents support them, too.
Nonsense. You say this because you disagree with the language I choose to use, not the policies I support
You support Democratic politicians who capitulate to the right, like Joe Manchin and Heidi Heitkamp, not me. You defend them from getting primaried by more progressive Democrats because you believe a more progressive Democrat in a red state will lose to the Republican. Because of people like you, there is no effective opposition to Trumpism. Only McResistance. Fabricated, fake, opposition.
The BBC articles factually stated the contents of the wikileaks files. They didn't give any background or confrimatory information. Most certainly didn't call anything "the murder video". I'm just asking for details about that raid and background information so I can be outraged about the murder video like you. I won't take your word for it. What information justifies calling those vids evidence of war crimes?
What Congressmen did I support that capitulated to the right like Joe Manchin? Manchin isn't my state senator, he's West VA's senator. I never gave him any support. I support Congressmen from Oregon. Every one of the congressmen from Oregon voted against the FISA re-authorization or are on record of opposing it in the Senate. How did your representative vote on the FISA bill? Too funny that you think Democrats are the reason that bill went through. Your cynical belief is stunting your ability to think. Your should challenge your false beliefs and maybe you will become a better problem solver. I mean, duh, Democrats are outnumbered in Congress right now. Of course they don't drive the agenda.
Regarding effective opposition, we'll see what happens next week when a bipartisan group of Senators filibuster the FISA re-authorization bill.
Is this where you cite poll results from April of last year that shows how popular Bernie Sanders is? What effective opposition did Independents mount between now and then? You do realize that his unfinished healthcare bill failed to even get into committee is because Republicans laughed it off, don't you? Do you recall that a record number of Democratic caucus Senators signed on as co-sponsors for Bernie's bill? But you still blame Democrats who don't have control of the agenda for it failing to go anywhere, don't you? LOL. So wrong, pad.
