In the wake of the U.S. airstrikes on Iran, Democrats are pointing to Trump’s own promises that he wouldn’t ensnare the country in foreign conflicts.
Democrats are seizing on Donald Trump’s surprise attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities to make the case that the world is becoming more dangerous on his watch, not less, and that he is reneging on a promise to avoid foreign military interventions.
The argument strikes at Trump’s contention that his blend of negotiating skills and toughness is enough to keep the United States safe.
In the space of a few days, Trump has made the United States a combatant in another Middle East war that exposes soldiers to potential deadly reprisals, Democrats contend.
In a statement, Democratic National Committee Chairman Ken Martin pointed to Trump’s inaugural address, in which he said he would measure his success by “the wars we never get into.”
She might have had a chance, but at every turn she chose to say she would be no different from Biden. The fundamental reality is that people are disgusted by the status quo and don’t show up for those that say nothing will change.
I still swallowed my pride and voted for her anyway, but I’ve never been so insulted as when I heard the “greatest economy ever” line over and over.
It was great, just not for the regular working people that normal economic barometer’s used by governments ignore.
That’s exactly why it was insulting. It’s basically saying “I’m sorry you can’t afford a house, but the stock market is great!”
Any reasonable voter did.
Tell yourself that all you want buddy. I wish I hadn’t voted for her, it was stupid voting for someone who clearly gives no shits about fighting fascism or preventing genocide, and I won’t be voting for blue presidents ever again bc they’re only going to get further and further right
Because it makes so much more sense to abstain from voting so now your vote is for fascism as opposed to picking the non-fascist.
It’s peak denial of reality
“as opposed to picking the non-fascist” Liberals are fascists. They have done nothing at all to oppose trump. When they stop siding with fascists over progressives literally every single time, maybe you’ll have something remotely resembling a point
When there’s 9 people at a table and a fascist sits, etc etc
Liberals I’d say are to the immediate left of fascism. They definently enable policies that allow fascists to exist. While never taking that power themselves.
What people like you seem to forget is that our voting system is fundamentally broken and flawed. It limits our voice so short of a revolution we have to pick damage contol.
Funnily enough the only people that have tried to fix it are the democrats. Plenty of states under democratic control have pushed for a popular vote for president. It’s not going to fix the voting system, but it would be a big improvement and then you would actually have a significantly better chance to get a third party canidate elected. Then you would have a point.
I’m cool with fighting for some things liberals also fight for, especially those kinda of voting reforms, bc along with ensuring conservatives lose every election, i bet it’d force liberals to actually appeal to the left to not risk losing to real progressives. Sadly they’ll prob stop supporting that the moment it actually threatens to change the status quo at all
THERE ARE MORE THAN TWO PEOPLE TO VOTE FOR
QUIT EXCUSING YOUR UNCONDITIONAL SUPPORT FOR LIBERALS
Just say you love killing gazans and getting fascists into office, there’s no other explanation for thinking democrats are even remotely decent
Only one of two people can win. Feel free, vote for Vermin Supreme. You and the other 2 people who voted for him will be very happy you threw away your vote.
The rest of us got Trump, thanks.

All caps doesn’t make you right buddy. I hate it, but until we can reform our fundamentally flawed system there are two options. Especially for president. If you split a state to a progressive canidate you almost garuntee a Fascist/Republican victory. The system itself is flawed. I’m sorry it’s a harsh reality to accept. I was like you once. I made this very mistake back in 2016, and I vowed to never be such a fool again.
Don’t chose fascism friend.
Save the weak and overdone character attacks. The apartheid state of Israel has no right to exist. Unfortunately that wasn’t on my ballot and no torching my vote didn’t put it on the ballot either.
So what have you done in the previous nine years to reform the voting system?
Why?
The economy was/is abysmal for the average American. School is unaffordable, housing is unaffordable, and food is becoming increasingly unaffordable.
When they were saying the economy was good, they were saying stocks were up. Which mostly benefits the wealthiest.
I was so hopefully after she picked Walz. And then she fucking chained herself to Biden and all my hope faded.
They did show up. Kamala Harris won more votes than Barack Obama.
People talk like the Democrats didn’t successfully twist arms and browbeat supporters into showing up for them in droves. 75,017,613 people voted for Kamala Harris, despite her vile stench.
Trump simply brought in more.
There is that part about the voting machines and how certain districts got literally 100% Trump votes, which is… pretty impossible.
I agree 100%. She would have been better in that she’s coherent, but just another neolib failing to address systemic problems.
We would have been able to focus on international issues and not worrying about the entire country crashing down around us like some handmaids tale nightmare.
