Edit2: updated headline
They’re cowards and/or bought by Israel. The Democratic leadership conveniently delayed a vote against military action until next week. Speculation is that either they get so much AIPAC money they’ll do whatever Israel wants or they think this will be such a big shit show for Trump they want to just let it happen for political benefit.
Also, realistically, Republicans are weak-willed morons. There will be a few days of uncomfortable confusion, but they’ll be cheerleading this by next week.
After all, they never met a middle-eastern war they didn’t like.
Killing lots of brown people.
Unlimited money for their defense contractor buddies.
Get to cosplay as patriotic for supporting the war effort and supporting the troops. (Words only for the troops, of course. Still cutting veteran’s healthcare budget.)
