I think if you look at the policy in Syria, it's kinda ridiculous that "allowing countries to support Syrian opposition groups" is considered "literally arming jihadists" and I say this as someone who is opposed to Syrian intervention to support anything other than the YPG.

Pretty much the whole arms' traffic comes from Saudi Arabia and Turkey, and the TOWs were the Saudis' to give. To be fair, Hillary was a voice for a strong intervention in that country and that's one of the reasons I didn't support her.

That being said, Donald Trump is far more likely to take ill-advised interventions than Obama ever was(Obama himself was actually a pretty firm anti-intervention guy in Syria).

Iran and Saudi Arabia are fighting a proxy war throughout the middle east in any country with significant Shia and Sunni populations. The only reason Saudi Arabia is not on the state sponsor of terror list is because the US(probably incorrectly) is in the Sunni camp in this proxy war.

Fiction posted:

clinton refused to back a $15 minimum wage in the platform because she didn't want to turn off too many of the upper middle class Republican voters she was angling for. Then those people voted Republican anyway and she lost.

That's a pretty good summation of the party's problems with the minimum wage and related policies IMO.

You'd think the master triangulator could've triangulated a position to someone other than her immediate social group.

Ahh, the Shillaries are back to tell us about how we failed Her rather than the other way around.
