Attacking Iran is bipartisan consensus unfortunately.

Schumer, for example, is an avowed Zionist and would love to attack Iran. Case in point: His leadership worked to delay Massey and Khanna's war powers resolution until after this attack so they could say "Well, I guess we're too late. Darn."

They absolutely do matter. Though not on this issue. Permanent war in the Middle East is a bipartisan issue.

The ICE killings, deportations of US citizens, and the general anti-US sentiments around the world show that lesser evil exists, and that not voting can have consequences.

It's a shame that it took all this for the Democrats to even begin the dialog about Israeli money in politics, and perhaps they may even realize that nobody wants to vote for pro-war neoliberals.

they do when you hear for months that we need to elect people that will stop the senseless wars - then they do matter
