Quick, chat, what did the democrats have to say about the u.s. military or Iran during the last election? Oh, Kamala Harris was literally even more bellicose?? yup those dang Republicans alright
This world you keep imagining where Kamala would have invaded more countries than we have in this past year alone is quite the sight.
Tell me more. How many times will congress fail resolutions to narrow her war powers? Will the DoD get renamed to the Department of War Crimes? Will she fill her cabinet with actual circus clowns instead of the hand picked pool of media sycophants who aren’t experts in their fields? Will she build her ball room on top of her triumph arch? (idk, maybe it has death lasers and satanic pentagrams, that would be cool)
The “but Kamala” card requires entertaining the idea that literally any president other than the one that got voted in would have been able to outpace the malignant narcissism of senile Emperor Nero over here. It’s not an argument in good faith. It’s an argument for the guy who babbled incoherently about how tariffs work and then did exactly what he said he would.
Edit: Tee hee. If there is one thing ML and MAGA still agree on, it’s that the US is on the best trajectory for everyone. Albeit for very different reasons.
Ngl as an ML, I sure hope I get to see the end of the US as a political entity. Trump winning was inevitable, because American capitalism is in freefall from a materialist perspective, and trying to grab as much as it can before it crashes.
I don't care how polite an American president is, they're all war criminals that bomb West Asia and South America with 0 impunity.
Death to the US
Kamala harris wanted to "rebuild" the u.s. military into "the world's deadliest" and said Iran was America's #1 enemy. What the fuck do you think her intentions are with those statements, you absolute fucking imbecile? Or were you too stupid and ignorant to actually pay attention to the things she said during her 5 minutes of campaigning, so you don't actually know what the fuck you're talking about?
Harris had the same foreign policy goals as Trump, the difference between them is that she would have pursued those goals with more competence i.e. she wouldn't have bombed Iran, she'd have kept up the economic war to cause the country to collapse. She might have bombed Iran by 2028, but the economic war was working. Iran was in really bad shape before the war.
With this in mind, in terms of foreign policy, Trump is the lesser evil. Thanks to Trump, Iran has a path to victory.
Basically either the more honest, and less competent imperialists, vs the dishonest, more competent imperialists.
Yeah, it's actually more complicated than just being mask-on vs mask-off. It turns out that only the competents wear their mask, because they're competent enough to know why they're wearing a mask. The incompetents think that masks are woke.
Literal Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Where did they say that?
Probably zero, considering that they didn't even consider doing it to Obama or Biden. Ya know, the guys who bombed bunches of kids.
She would have picked liars, simps, and sycophants, just like Biden, Obama, and Clinton did.
No, it just requires looking at her predecessors, and what she said she would do.
Wait, so your post full of made-up arguments are in good faith?
