    I honestly think nothing with Israel or Russia would be different under Harris right now, save for the way the rhetoric is presented.

    80+% of Dem voters were against what Israel was doing, but Kamala was Pro All Things Israel until something like 2 days before the election (and even then, her position only ‘changed’ to some milquetoast bullshit)

    They don’t care

    Democracy is the ritual act of voting and nothing else.

    The idea that once elected the officials might be beholden to the whim of the electorate? That’s actually not democratic. That’s populist. Or something. It’s bad. Maybe eastern European. Or Asian. Chinese in particular. Or maybe it’s an archipelago? Gulag? Perestroika? Glasnost. Appeasement? Hitlerian? It’s bad or whatever.

    It’s amazing how the same fucking Democratic leadership is repeating every mistake they made with supporting the Iraq war.

    Somehow Trump is the only one in power who seems to understand what a stupid idea it is.

    Democrats could support the 84% who dont want the war, but instead they think goading Trump with TACO bullshit will help more.

    Maybe the grand plan is to get a few carriers sunk to blame on Trump just before midterms?

    For every five liberal anti-war voter we lose, we’ll picked up three… two… maybe even one liberal pro-war voter in the mid-terms. good-morning
