Dem leaders mostly let their war opposition speak for itself—implicit through complaints about gas prices, etc—while standing back to let Trump harm himself. In practice, though, that leaves Dems mired in proxy battles (over, e.g., Hasan Piker) while Trump gears up for war crimes. Here's a better way.

These fights over platforming and normalizing and tent-size become tedious quickly. But one way to shrink the stakes, so that at the very least nobody confuses the Hasan Piker Question™️ for an existential dilemma, would be for the party to drink his milkshake: Make it unmistakably clear to the public which party opposes the war in Iran, and opposes the Netanyahu government.
