And like with Bush, will the “opposition” and media all just fall in line?

Can’t prove a negative, but it’s not like US policy towards Iran (or Israel) changes much from admin to admin. Here’s Kamala right before the election saber rattling: https://www.cnbc.com/2024/10/08/harris-iran-greatest-adversary-trump-election.html

If you’re still engaging with them politically, it seems like you should be attacking them in order to force them to take popular positions. If you’re just going to vote blue no matter who, then you have zero political influence.

You’re relitigating the past. You might as well blame dem voters rather than others if you’re going to do that. We are in year one of Trump’s term. We should all be going full blast on how complicit the democrats are with all of this shit. We should all be shouting at dems how fucking garbage we think their policies are, and how we won’t be wasting our time voting for them. We should be clear about what we want, and what we won’t accept. And all that is only really for people that have any hope for that party.

The democrats are one of the two “legs” that have been marching us to where we are today. It is better that people stop thinking they will protect us in any way from fascism, when they have been merrily helping to implement it. I get that you still feel it’s worth engaging with them as a political party even though you may find them abhorrent. The dem base in the other hand, loves them. Nothing better than the status quo, no matter how bad that gets!

A system where literal genocide “is not on the ballot” is a wholly irredeemable system. Please understand that democrats are as responsible for Trumpism as republicans. Oh how people miss Obama, yet even with two terms in office, he failed to make any fundamental changes that could have prevented Trump. Democrats pose no credible opposition to republicans, because they are fundamentally incapable (unwilling) to address the problems we are facing. Basically the same foreign policy, and halfhearted reformist approaches to domestic issues. Republicans have all the wrong answers, but people see them fighting to implement them.
