Drump-sniff-tremendous-sniff-hates Iran-Mansplainer has no idea how much work the Daily Kos community did to pass the Iran deal.
Here's excerpts from our campaign report out from Monique Teal aka TealBomb:
Daily Kos was an early supporter of the Iran deal and as negotiations moved forward, the DK community took more than 1.1 million actions to help ease its eventual passage through Congress.
Over the course of the campaign, Daily Kos hosted six petitions, 10 letter campaigns and nine call-in actions. The breakdown of engagement is as such: 263,827 petition signatures, 854,391 letters sent to electeds and 3,522 call report-backs submitted (industry standard is to assume twice as many calls were made as were reported. Using that metric, this number could also be reported as 7,044 calls made).
For nearly two years, the United States and the world’s major powers — the United Kingdom, France, Germany, China, Russia, and the European Union — negotiated with Iran in hopes of securing a deal that would prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) is one of the strongest and most significant nuclear arrangements in history. With this deal, we eliminated the threat of a nuclear armed Iran, strengthening our own national security and that of our allies in the region. Without it, we'd face yet another avoidable conflict in the Middle East.
Daily Kos worked closely with seven allied organizations: Code Pink, CREDO, Just Foreign Policy, RootsAction, The Nation, US Action and Win Without War. Members of the activism and editorial teams also joined weekly calls with a broad coalition of electeds, movement builders and policy wonks. Through these channels and print media such as the Washington Post and The Hill, we regularly updated a list of targets in the House and Senate and would craft messaging based on electeds' support, opposition or seemingly undecided stance on various bills or possible filibusters related to the Iran nuclear agreement.
Sorry loser. We support liberation, diplomacy and sound policy--not more war in the Middle East.
