You’re assuming a Harris administration would have handled this significantly differently, when regime change in Iran has been bipartisan consensus ever since the 1978 revolution removed the puppet regime that the US installed in 1953.

Ffs No one mentioned Harris.

The constant "there's a dang Cheeto in the white house!" comes with the implication that anyone who wasn't "the Cheeto" would be meaningfully different in the role.

Particularly in 2016 - 2020 the implication was Hillary, now it's Harris, as that's who he ran against.

Edit: It's a focus on the individual in the role rather than the system itself, despite vast evidence that the problems are long term and systemic. Whether the intention or not, it's undeniably a liberal defense of the broader system itself.

Then say that.

Op says, 'I hate coke" and we respond "Pepsi is also bad" . This doesn't ever even imply that soda just sucks. It just shuts down discussion, makes us sound contrarian.

You're literally defending Harris in the next thread. Don't play coy.

Your comment further down in this very thread: "A Harris presidency wouldn’t be threatening nuclear action."

Liar, coward, imperialist
