Here's the official Mike Gravel 2020 Campaign Launch Ad - "Rock 2.0" Join the #Gravelanche to push American politics to the left and speak truth to power, send Mike $1 to get him on the debate stage: http://bit.ly/Gravelanche .
McCain's image has been sanctified by an old David Foster Wallace article, a nonfactual "maverick" image, and a few cherrypicked memories of his old campaigns. He was a bad guy. If @amyklobuchar wasn't so busy abusing her workers, she could have done research and found that out.
McCain was an unabashed war hawk, and had a legacy as bloody as anyone in American politics. To whitewash him in the fight to "save democracy from Trump" and protect our oh-so-valuable "norms and institutions" (which helped McCain kill hundreds of thousands!) is a disgrace.
But McCain's main legacy will be supporting tyrants and death squads abroad: donating money to the Contras, helping to meddle in foreign elections, supporting wars everywhere from Panama to Libya to Iraq to Iran.
McCain sponsored bills like the Enemy Belligerent Act of 2010, to allow any terrorist suspect to be indefinitely jailed. @GGreenwald called it "the single most extremist, tyrannical and dangerous bill introduced in the Senate in the last several decades."
McCain supported practically every bad bill of the 1990s and 2000s, from the crime bill to the Patriot Act. He supported the infamous Arizona SB 1070, which encouraged racial profiling. He spread anti-vax conspiracy theories. He originally opposed a national MLK Day!
Whatever personal valor he had, McCain was also tied to Paul Manafort: Charlie Black of the infamous Black, Manafort, Stone and Kelly Co. served as a senior advisor on McCain's 2008 campaign. And his campaign manager owned a company...with Paul Manafort.
Elite Democrats want to keep alive the myth that meaningful bipartisanship is possible, so they use McCain, Flake, and Amash as the examples of the "good Republicans." But you can't seriously criticize Trump without criticizing McCain.
Typical of centrists: denounce the movements coalescing around leaders like Bernie Sanders and Jeremy Corbyn as anti-Semitic, and in the same breath give an unsubtle wink to the idea that Jews are both stingy and rich. https://twitter.com/politico/status/1132013444075610114 …

folks sorry to break it to you but doing epic burns on Trump probably won’t win the presidency
The doctored clip of Nancy Pelosi showing her as drunk is another piece of evidence: removing Trump, whether by electoral or legal means, won't break the fever and make politics good again. If Democrats don't accept the nature of the party they oppose, they're doomed to fail.
Police brutality against Native Americans is, essentially, an invisible issue to our press and public. We must demand a federal investigation into the murder of Clarence Leading Fighter. Shot twice in the doorway of a church by police, after already being tased.
No matter your thoughts on Julian Assange, the latest indictments—under the outdated Espionage Act—are a disgrace. If you support the indictments out of hate for him, you're giving Trump a weapon to restrict the press. The charges should be dropped and the Espionage Act repealed.

A path of peace is the way out of the Iranian morass. We need to free our foreign policy of undue influence by Israel and Saudi Arabia, both of which have manipulated our government into doing their bidding and antagonizing Iran. We have to give peace a chance.
A military strike in Iran is not a viable option. What pushed Iran to seek nuclear arms was the fear of invasion: only by setting that aside can we fully work with them. And we must drop our sanctions, which have only made the Iranian economy dysfunctional and caused pain.
An attack against Iran would not be like Iraq in 2003 or Libya in 2011: Iran is a powerful regional force that can fight back. A war against Iran launched for no real reason would not only be immoral and costly but also be a strategic disaster.
