policy paper from her team that criticized Trump for not striking Iran

uhh, what now?

[-] thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net 40 points 4 months ago

It was from the Official Democratic Party platform

All of this [ed: prior 3 paragraphs all about bs Biden did against Iran] stands in sharp contrast to Trump's fecklessness and weakness in the face of Iranian aggression during his presidency. In 2018, when Iranian-backed militias repeatedly attacked the U.S. consulate in Basra, Iraq Trump’s only response was to close our diplomatic facility. In June 2019, when Iran shot down a U.S. surveillance aircraft operating in international airspace above the Straits of Hormuz, Trump responded by tweet and then abruptly called off any actual retaliation, causing confusion and concern among his own national security team. In September 2019, when Iranian-backed groups threatened global energy markets by attacking Saudi oil infrastructure, Trump failed to respond against Iran or its proxies. In January 2020, when Iran, for the first and only time in its history, directly launched ballistic missiles against U.S. troops in western Iraq, Trump mocked the resulting Traumatic Brain Injuries suffered by dozens of American servicemembers as mere “headaches” – and again, took no action

Remember when all the libs were losing their minds when Trump ordered the assassination of Solemani? Now its not even a footnote in this revisionist nonsense.

I really can’t get over how fucking insane this paragraph is

If you were trying to convince me to vote for Trump as the harm reduction candidate, this is what you would write

[-] rootsbreadandmakka@hexbear.net 10 points 4 months ago

You know, it’s seeming less and less like Kamala is actually the “harm reduction” candidate
