    There’s no reason to think the US would’ve engaged in a war with Iran under Harris

    The only reason to think she wouldn’t have is wishful thinking. Harris is an AIPAC puppet like most elected politicians in the US. She was singing from the same hymnal they all were, and they’ve all supported the war. She enthusiastically helped the Biden administration end-run around Congress to fund the Zionist genocide, she’d absolutely have bombed Iran when given the order to do so.

    think you just don’t live here

    And we’re back to “people who disagree are dirty foreigners or subhuman bots”. It’s a super convenient belief that keeps you from ever having to engage with arguments your billionaire programmers haven’t given you the talking points and thought terminating cliches to protect yourself from.

    comparing Biden or Obama’s deportation processes and goals to Trump is so fucking goofy and transparent of you

    Pretending Tom Homan wasn’t running the show for both parties is ignorant or disingenuous of you. And you don’t need five more sentences of prevarication after that, you can just say you’re fine with the bipartisan white supremacist status quo on immigration. That “I personally like immigrants but the government is mean, tee hee” bullshit isn’t fooling anyone.

    And since the rest of your screed goes back to the illiterate and fascist-leaning standpoint that evidence isn’t required for narratives that are popular enough and anyone who questions them is clearly an evil foreigner, it’s not even worth addressing. I picture you as a child with your fingers in your ears screeching “I’m not listening to the bad think, I’m not listening to the bad think!!”

        Coming from the guy who can’t even tell his own party is center-right and nowhere near left, I’ll take that as a compliment.

          Not my party. Not my country. Too right for me. But guess what! You’ll never guess! Despite the red coloring, the Republicans are actually even further to the right! Wow. Blew your mind right there - bet you didn’t even realise you could get worse than the Democrats!

            Republicans are actually even further to the right

            They’re actually not. They’re just louder about it.

                If you genuinely think the Democrats are to the left of the Republicans, then it shouldn’t be hard to think of one single thing they’ve done in the last 35 years that benefitted working people more than it benefitted Wall St, right?

                And before you go with the obvious ones that everyone goes with, the ACA and ARRA both delivered steam shovels full of money to Wall St and left the working class with crumbs, and if I have to actually go fish up the sources to prove it to you I’m probably just gonna block you right after.

                  Your threat to never reply to me again isn’t as scary as you seem to think.

                  Again, if you care to consult reality, you’ll find that Republicans are usually much worse than Democrats, cutting taxes for rich people and cutting welfare for poor people. Biden, probably one of the most notably centrist, mid Democrats lifted an estimated three million children out of poverty, for example. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Rescue_Plan_Act_of_2021

                  I mean, there’s loads and loads of examples, but you don’t want to think about that, you just want to go on spewimg BoTh sIDes nonsense so that the actually facist Republicans can win again. I don’t know why you think for a moment that I would believe you’re genuine in asserting your left wing motivation. You only love authoritarianism.
