This is the stupidest thing I've seen in a long time. Combining the silly form, with exceptionally dishonest arguments, and it's hard to be stupider than this.
* no one is against diplomacy
* this deal does not actually prevent Iran from getting a bomb
* it's a matter of debate whether this is the best path to preventing Iran from getting a bomb
* saying we shouldn't "play politics" and instead "support diplomacy" is so many levels of dumb it's hard to know where to begin, but I'll start by pointing out that diplomacy is politics, and our Constitution requires the political branches to work out treaties
etc.
I am not for or against this deal. I see big problems with it; I also see that it might be the best we can get. But I am not convinced it's the best we can get, and I am also not convinced that if it is the best we can get, that it is worth doing, because it might be so bad that it's no better than doing nothing.
And a silly video mostly from people who know even less about the deal than I do is not going to do much to convince me otherwise. The only credible people in the video are Queen Noor (whom I respect a lot, but who has her own agenda), and Ambassador Pickering. And there's plenty of credible people who oppose the deal, too.

"It is the common fate of the indolent to see their rights become a prey to the active. The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his guilt."
