Do what you\u2019re told.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">No Democratic constituency has been more sidelined under Biden than genuine progressives. Democrats are in control yet progressives consistently have to settle for gestures and occasional scraps. When they step out of line, the establishment quickly reminds them who\u2019s in charge.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Justin Amash (@justinamash) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/justinamash\/status\/1584952004941869057?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"stylish-link\">October 25, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\">Before yesterday I might have considered it a stretch to call Democrats \u201cThe War Party.\u201d After all, Republicans are split on the U.S.\u2019s role in the Ukraine conflict, and 30 Democrats did have enough residual progressive principle to at least take one antiwar stance on America\u2019s latest war (as progressives have been known to do for most of the last century).<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">But today, it is clear that <strong>the only major opposition to what the U.S. government is doing in America\u2019s name in Ukraine currently resides in the Republican Party.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Antiwar progressives manned up for a day. Now they\u2019re in retreat.<\/strong> I do not see them standing up to the Democratic establishment and its foreign policy again anytime soon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">I would love to be proven wrong.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">There&#8217;s vastly more debate within the Republican Party \u2014 not just on Ukraine but on most topics \u2014 than there is within the Democratic Party. It&#8217;s not even close. The tolerance level for even the smallest dissent in Democratic Party political and media circles is close to zero. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/rTkATTOabx\" class=\"stylish-link\">pic.twitter.com\/rTkATTOabx<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ggreenwald\/status\/1584904787786665985?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"stylish-link\">October 25, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Like this article?
