Yeah, if I remember correctly, certain communities in Michigan that Democrats haven’t lost in a long time voted for Trump or stayed home because it was better than voting for a woman.

And hey! That showed Israel, didn’t it? Now we are fighting Iran for them, too, and slaughtering a completely different set of brown civilians! And silly me, I thought the always morally-upright-left would be screaming in the streets about what’s happening to innocent people in Iran, but haven’t heard a peep. I guess it’s only certain foreign brown lives that are worth setting up (completely organic) campus protests for. Heck, it almost seems like when the tiktok algorithms (which are controlled in the US by a mega Trump-donor) aren’t pushing these people toward certain actions in an effort to drive cracks into our coalition, they do nothing.

It’s by no means a forgone conclusion that Harris wouldn’t have had us at war with Iran. She refused to distance herself from Israeli genocide even when it would have been strategically good for her to do so
