      Oh man the flourish with which she would’ve signed the war approval. It would’ve made death-to-the-poor look like first year clown.

      I genuinely doubt a democrat would have gone through with this.

      Iran has a been a neocon obsession for decades, and as big of a neocon/lib Harris is, I doubt she would have had the political capital to go through with an attack on iran

      If a dem were in charge, the pentagon and CIA would have what they do before, arm opposing factions in a color revolution and have them bomb the entire place

        Trump doesn’t even have the political capital for this. There’s a propaganda push right now obviously, but even this week a Fox anchor was expressing doubt’s before the bombs fell.

        Even today the story is: “we have the upper hand, they have taken hundreds of casualties”

        “Almost all of those were from an all-girls elementary school”

        Just keep spreading that al Jazeera map with minimal context.


        Yesterday: “the people will overthrow their government now that we assassinated top leadership”

        Next week when that doesn’t happen: ???

        I think they could have gotten the propaganda backing to do so if they focused on it, which the Dems probably would. The Republicans barely seem to care about that anymore, they know the people will eat up whatever they say.

    The white liberal differs from the white conservative only in one way: the liberal is more deceitful than the conservative. The liberal is more hypocritical than the conservative. Both want power, but the white liberal is the one who has perfected the art of posing as the Negro’s friend and benefactor; and by winning the friendship, allegiance, and support of the Negro, the white liberal is able to use the Negro as a pawn or tool in this political “football game” that is constantly raging between the white liberals and white conservatives.

    Malcolm X

    Replace negro with any minority. There is another quote more poetic by malcolm but i couldnt find it fast.

    the only reason you have so much hate for liberals is that you still had illusions that liberals were somehow opposed to US Imperialism. The only difference between Dems and Reps is that Dems tend to use more woke language, like women’s rights, lgbtq rights etc. when they do their bombings.

      Brother I am over 40 years old trust me I did not. Do not talk down to me like some child just figuring this out. I have hated them probably before your were born.
