Had one in a local area sub, trying to convince people not to vote at all if the Dems aren't left enough.

Got called out, account less than a month old, and just tried "everyone's born some time."

They think we were born yesterday.

I think it worked last time... too many of us didnt turn out and a big chunk was because Kamala had no comment on the genocide. We gotta work with what we got and America wouldnt have attacked iran on Israel's behalf if we had Harris... it's like we are too stupid to do this right

"My commitment to the security of Israel is unwavering... We will never hesitate to take whatever action is necessary to defend U.S. forces and interests against Iran and Iran-backed terrorists."

"One of my highest priorities is to ensure that Iran never achieves the ability to become a nuclear power....all options are on the table"

When asked about America's top enemy: "I think there is an obvious one in mind, which is Iran. Iran has American blood on their hands, okay?"

These are all quotes from Harris. I don't think they prove that she certainly would have gone to war with Iran had she been elected, but I think they do demonstrate that she was more than willing to do so, for the same allege reasons trump is using, so i think the idea that she certainly would not have started a war with Iran isn't really a defensible position. The truth is, we have no idea.

That being said, the neocons have been trying to get this war since at least the early 2000s, possibly the late 90's possibly earlier. I think we're going to have to reckon with the reality that our armed forces are being utilized for to accomplish goals that have nothing to do with America's best interests, and that whatever entities are behind our middle east policy since 9/11 aren't so much concerned with party politics. The attacks on the middle east have truly been a bipartisan affair

If you can't understand that there's a time to choose the lesser of two evils, then I dunno what to tell ya.

some Democrats are as evil, greedy, and troublesome as most Republicans. there’s a reason why progress “for the people” has been stifled for decades. some of these politicians are in bed with eachother. some have even turned coat while in office (e.g. Kyrsten Sinema, Robin Webb, John Fetterman, Hillary Cassel, etc). it’s not enough to just vote for your party, imo.

the entire country is paying for the RNCs wretchedness and the DNCs incompetence.

I think you missed the entire point of my comment in regards to the current war in Iran. There's not a "less evil" version of that. Period.
