No, unfortunately the president of the US tends to go along with the swamp on foreign policy decisions, therefore we would be in the exact same situation regardless of the election.

Here is a link to a Kamala Harris speech on the official Biden white house archives. This was less than a month before the election.

We know Hamas is not the only threat Israel faces. On October 8, Hezbollah began launching rockets at Israel, and the Houthis in Yemen began targeting Israeli cities.

And what is the common thread? Well, we all know: Iran, which has now also directly attacked Israel twice.

I am clear-eyed. Iran is a destabilizing and dangerous force.

When Donald Trump was president, he let Iran off the hook. After Iran and its proxies attacked U.S. bases and American troops, Trump did nothing. And he pulled out of the nuclear deal without any plan, leading to an unconstrained Iranian nuclear program.

On the other hand, our administration struck Iranian proxies in Iraq and Syria when they attacked American troops, and we are the first administration to ever directly defend Israel.

Make no mistake, as president, I will never hesitate to take whatever action is necessary to defend American forces and interests from Iran and Iran-backed terrorists, and I will never allow Iran to acquire a nuclear weapon.

Diplomacy is my preferred path to that end, but all options are on the table.

She literally called Trump a pussy for not bombing Iran more and pledges to start a war with Iran if necessary for the express goal of defending Israel.

Trump deserves to be called a hypocrite for campaigning on the opposite of this, but really we never had a choice.

We did, actually. Her name was Jill Stein.

Uhhhhh kinda. I did vote for her once but let's be honest it's a protest vote more than anything. Much ink has already been spilled about how the system is hostile to third party candidates and why.

Nah, we already have a Russian plant in the White House.

I remember the 1980s when the Republicans were accusing their political opponents of being commies or "pinkos" or some secret agents of Russia, but I never dreamed that Red Scare nonsense would get resurrected in the Democratic Party. Pretty funny. You aren't as different as you think you are.

Um, except Jill Stein has verifiable ties to the Kremlin.

Also, I'm not a fucking Democrat I'm a fucking socialist.

Also, the red scare was in the '50s and '60s, not the '80s.

Stein was investigated as part of the probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election, and she was cleared of any wrongdoing.

Also, I'm not a fucking Democrat I'm a fucking socialist.

Sorry for the assumption. I heard Democratic Party talking points, so I thought you were a Democrat.

Also, the red scare was in the '50s and '60s, not the '80s.

Conservatives were still paranoid about Russian agents in the '80s. That was my point.
