    Counterpoint: where people stood on the biggest foreign policy blunder of the last 50 years is in fact a good litmus test.https://twitter.com/DesertSox/status/1216400505846534144 …

    The Iraq War vote is a terrible litmus test for Presidential choice.

        Also how one *responds* to their mistake matters, a lot. Will we be treated to any coverage of Biden as inauthentic/not trustworthy for repeatedly distorting his views?

        We already are. Trump's campaign already weaponized it.

        "All politics are local in the USA." That hasnt been true since like 1910, people are way more informed and engaged about politics on a national level than on a local or state level.

        “Blunder”? I think the execs over at Halliburton, Exxon, Lockheed Martin, and Raytheon would disagree. Also a few big banks. “Blunder” assumes W and co had good intentions and fucked up, stop saying blunder. PNAC was talking about invading Iraq in the mid 90s

        This. Killing millions of people through war and sanctions isn't a blunder.

        Can you articulate what made supporting the Iraq War in 2003 such a catastrophic failure of judgment at that moment in time?

        Because there was no evidence of WMDs in Iraq. That's why most Democrats in Congress voted against it. That's why people at the UN laughed at Colin Powell. That's why allies like France didn't participate. Easy question!
