Raphaël Glucksmann, a center-left member of the European Parliament, has strongly criticized President Donald Trump's radical change of US policy on the war.
I hope we can some day reach a state of politics that aren’t purely performative in nature.
Where policy is made to address an issue of the contituency, not to dunk on opponents or generate media attention.
Dafuq else do you expect a random French opposition member to do? Sit there quietly and look pretty? That seems to be the leading strategy for the US Dems and also an irredeemable dereliction of duty. If you are forced into the opposition, be performative. Be loud. Be ungovernable, if necessary.
It’s nice to wish for a world where a fascist regime doesn’t have full control of the USA, but unfortunately we don’t live in that world so please don’t denigrate the work of politicians who at least are doing the bare minimum of saying something about it.

Very hard disagree. Hearts and minds.

I agree, but at the same time politics these days are necessarily intertwined with social media and it’s culture.
