30 progressive Democrats privately signed a letter in July calling for negotiations to end the war in Ukraine. It was published and sent to Biden just now, and provoked much opposition.

If it were possible to work out a just peace with Putin, one that avoided crowning his attack on Ukraine with success, I might be in favor of that — but he's not having it.

Total agreement with me is too much to demand of the politicians I support. I support Ayanna Pressley because of the many issues on which she fights for the rights and well-being of non-rich Americans, despite disagreeing with her on this issue.
