"Yemen has been targeted by U.S. military action and bombings over the last four American presidencies — of George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Donald Trump, now Joe Biden."

Red and blue are the same party, stop voting for them.

The American Overton Window is certainly fairly narrow, voting for change is the way to go. Join the Democrats and vote in the primary.

Push the window left.

This thread is about a blue president doing exactly what the 3 presidents before him have done and two of them were red. How exactly is keeping vote for either red or blue going to change anything? If you want anything to change at all the best option to do it within the system is to vote for a third party or to not vote at all, the more votes red and blue lose the more they will have to adapt and change their policies. Voting for fascists or genocide supporters who are pushing the window right by increasing military spending and enriching the rich is not pushing the window anywhere toward justice.

Because the American political system is a joke and there is more chance of an American President making a positive impact in the middle East than there is of one being unaffiliated with one of the two major parties.

So change who comprises the parties, the Republicans already did it to theirs and have successfully moved the Overton Window further right.
