I always knew that Hillary had it in her

62. Anti-war activism is simply not needed anymore

The OP mirrored how I feel so well that I had to re-register just to post this. I also remember the time when Democrats on DU were unified against the neocons. It was 10 years ago. I used to post here back then. But since we got a democrat in the white house the movement sort of became unfashionable.

In 2006 we used to call neocons nazis, but in 2016.. neoconservatism is just not that controversial anymore. Hillary and the Kagans (Robert Kagan and Victoria Nuland) sort of made it respectable. In fact there's little reason to even use the word "neocon" anymore. Kagan put it quite nicely when he was describing Hillarys' policies "it’s something that might have been called neocon, but clearly her supporters are not going to call it that; they are going to call it something else."

But they are not going to call it anything.. because war is the new normal and geopolitics is not a "social justice" issue, so the millenials don't care. The new left is part of the empire. If anything, war is a simple refugee problem, nothing else..

It's a disgrace. But it is what it is.
