So um, the united states just started another war in the middle east. We're going to need a shit ton more memes to distract americans from the nightmare they are enduring. Thanks in advance...

Has Kamala come out yet to denounce a single one of Trump's Israel policies? Unlike a lot of other Democratic lawmakers, she has yet to publicly condemn the strike on Iran. From what evidence we can actually observe, it seems she supports the current strike. Or at least she doesn't oppose it. There's little reason to think she wouldn't have ordered the exact same type of strike Trump just did. She would spin it as "being the tough cop on the international scene."
Harris has been for the most part quiet about almost all of his policies so far. I can't claim to know her reasons but if I had to speculate it's probably an attempt to save face and not be seen as a sore loser. I'm not a Harris worshipper but I believe whole heartedly that she was the clear "less bad" option. I genuinely cannot comprehend disagreement with that given we're only 6 months into this administration and we've already seen massive international and domestic upheaval and hundreds of thousands of people negatively affected by deviation from typical conduct. For instance, do you think Harris and the Democrats would be pursuing Medicaid and SNAP cuts if they had won instead?

What's your basis for this statement? My basis for believing that she would not do this is the record of her recent Democratic presidential precedessors. Obama and Biden's Iran policies were largely characterized by attempts to deescalate tensions and move towards more normal relations. Of course, that is difficult when allyship with Israel is a cornerstone of US Middle East strategy, but they went about it in markedly different ways than Trump did in his first term and what he's doing now.

Nope, I was in a different state that day, unscheduled trip.
My wife was admitted to hospital days before the election, but voted anyway because absentee voting is a thing, and something one would assume a voter would look into after being denied the right to vote once before.
-
A good chunk of Kamala's platform was also tacitly supporting Trump.
Anything to justify your bad decisions.....

Distracting people from what is happening is NOT what you want.
But its exactly what will happen

Bombs are falling in the Middle East, but it is Americans who are in a nightmare? Lol.
You're right, things are just peachy here. Disregard.
-
I hate that 2/3 of my fellow citizens support this, either directly or or tacitly by choosing not to vote.
I really hope the protest/non voters are happy with the outcome they chose. I can't wait to hear them tell me that Harris would have done this too! Anything to justify intentionally causing the suffering of more people....
Bombing the shit out of the Middle East is the only bipartisanism the US has ever reached, therefore yes, a Democrat would have had to bomb something because that's what US presidents do.
Anyway, keep on blaming voters instead of holding the party accountable for its mistakes. -

BoTh SiDeS arguments are stupid and people who make them should be ignored. Like I said, anything to justify your bad choice.

Yeah, the 3rd party voters are complicit in Trump's actions, as are those who didn't vote in protest.
When one candidate straight up says they'll be a dictator on day one, anything but voting against them is supporting their actions.

Say it louder for those in the back plugging their ears and saying both sides are the same.

What’s super weird is that it resembles the war in Iraq but dumber.
After 9/11 Americans were out for blood, for revenge.
This time they were out for blood, democrat blood. Revenge for… being told to stay inside.
I guess every 20 years they realize they hate each other so they outsource the violence?
America is truly that neighbour which has constant domestic drama that the rest of the neighbourhood has to put up with constantly cause they are too nice to shun said neighbour.

It's liberals like you who let America become a dictatorship when you voted for Genocide Joe last year
Going off your comment I'm guessing you just became politically active in the last few years.

No but to OP’s point, the only reason why this keeps happening without Americans fighting back is because enough of them have it good enough.
So not peachy, but clearly good enough for a comfortable enough hole in the sand for your head.

I feel like maybe this was a good move. At the same time I think the orange turd didn't consider the consequences. Like you don't do that and get away with just the one three punches. Iran my try other things to get back at us.

distract americans from the nightmare they are enduring
I assure you the nightmare is being experienced more acutely and directly by the people being actively bombed.

Yeah, but do they have memes to distract them?

If there are enough memes, that is.

I didn't make a choice. I don't live in the US. But my country is strewn with US military bases and it wasn't Trump who put them there.
Trump is simply more ignorant about how a US president should bomb the shit out of Middle Eastern countries, but don't act like he invented anything.
And yes, on some things "both sides suck" because the US have been terrorizing other countries for decades.
They bring desolation and have the gall of calling it peace.

Both sides arguments are actually pretty enlightened. You can have criticisms of both candidates and vote for harm reduction. If anything the inability to criticize both sides for where they are the same is the same type of belligerent as MAGA. Harris running on building a fucking wall was a fucking disgrace.
But fuck not blaming voters for their stupid fucking decisions and fuck the sham of a democracy the US electoral system is. FPTP and WTA elections in the modern age are a fucking disgrace as well as no equal representation and voting with money.
