Combined with additional climate diplomacy with key countries like China, financial sanctions would ensure that addressing the climate crisis remains at the center of U.S. foreign and national security strategy.

Literally only the four of them. This wasn't even just some "sign on to whatever" thing. They specifically used their "progressive" cred to attack China and promote the use of economic sanctions.
What really pisses me off is that even if I were still a lib who didn't love China, this isn't what I would want right now
Our goddamned enemies are in this country and they're literally murdering us in the streets on a damn near daily basis
Florida just created their own army, even if I were still a lib I'd want our side to be getting ready for the inevitable war and part of that is accepting the fact that the cops aren't on our side and that the US military, while possibly split, probably isn't either
That's without even getting into what we all know about the military industrial complex and the various intelligence agencies but just the fucking supreme court should be proof enough that this country is unsalvageable
Taking hostile actions against powerful countries that could be useful allies in the coming civil war is the exact opposite of what I would want even if I were still a lib

But which side are the troops on? The rank and file rebelling and merking their officers is pretty common throughout history.
On the other hand, troops rebelling against orders and following charismatic officers is also pretty common. I think we're gonna get both.
Spanish Civil War but as farce.
