The vast majority of Democratic congressmembers just helped the GOP pass the warmongering NDAA, boosting the US military budget to $738 BILLION per year and funding Trump's ridiculous "Space Force," which will militarize space and cause a new arms race

Like usual, in their zeal to support bipartisan imperialism, neoliberal Democratic lawmakers compromised with Republicans and cut NDAA provisions that would:

-block Trump from waging war on Iran
-withdraw US support for genocidal war in Yemen
-halt deployment of nuclear warheads
Centrist Washington, DC newspaper Roll Call notes "Democrats ‘got completely rolled’ in NDAA talks"

It adds that the NDAA bill "represents a victory for Republicans"

This is what happens when neoliberal Democrats always compromise, compromise, compromise

376 congressmembers just voted to increase the US military budget to an absurd $738 billion per year

187 Democrats helped 189 Republicans

Only 41 Dems opposed the absolutely awful 2020 NDAA bill—including Tulsi Gabbard, Barbara Lee, Ro Khanna, AOC, Ilhan Omar, and Rashida Tlaib
