Can I get a smug lecture on how you're choosing the third, disconnected track?

how would less people get hurt under Harris?

A lot of people in Iran wouldn't get hurt.

And fewer people would be brutalized by ICE

You're actually wrong about that. Obama deported way more than trump. 3 million over 8 years, where trump deported 1.2 million over 4. Thomas Homan at ICE created the policy to separate children from their parents at the border. He was an Obama appointee and Obama gave him an award for distinguished service. He gave that award after Homan proposed family separations.

Biden deported 4.5 million. Trump has deported 675k in his first year. He'll have a hard time catching up to Obama or Biden.

I'm not defending republicans here, they are awful. But pretending things would be better under this cabal of democratic party leadership is just complete BS that you like to pretend its true. Its not true. Thats part of why Dem voters are mad at the dem leaders.

While we're on the subject, Dems killed more Palestinians than Republicans did.

This is cope. The current dem leadership is totally on board with the war in Iran, and if the current administration hadn't started it, Israel would almost certainly have dragged a hypothetical Harris administration into one anyway.

Maybe, maybe not. We can never know whether she would have done that.

The several decade of American sanctions are killing more then the bombs during this war. Iran is going to get stronger once the evil american empire surrender

So ... you're saying going to war against Iran is a good thing?

[–] rumimevlevi@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 minutes ago

There was a third option do not go to war with Iran and lift all sanctions on them
