Whitaker followed up, asking, “If Iran is building a nuclear weapon, would you take military action?”
“I’m not going to talk about hypotheticals at this moment,” said the vice president.

I hate that 2/3 of my fellow citizens support this, either directly or or tacitly by choosing not to vote.
I really hope the protest voters are happy with the outcome they chose. I can’t wait to hear them tell me that Harris would have done this too! Anything to justify intentionally causing the suffering of more people…

‘voting is the only indicator of support’
You are the problem please leave this country.

Wow, triggered and putting words in my mouth.
No, voting is literally the least you can do, and that’s too much for some people…

It’s literally the least you can do, and doing the least possible is not good enough.
You don’t get to wash your hands because you voted for Kodos.

The least you can do is not vote for a genocider you goddamn idiot.
Had the dems not know their base was full of spineless cowards favoring their safety over the life of foreigners they might have considered the electoral implications of bombing civilians.
This is all your fault really. You voted for a genocider. Still lost. Now not only should you not be able to look at yourself at the mirror but you’ll be sent to gitmo lmao

You’re the goddamn idiot if you thought abstaining from voting would help anything. Hope you’re proud of yourself shithead

You mean the people getting gassed and beaten and locked in cages fighting these bastards?
Who’ve been getting shot and stabbed and run over by them in street fights for a decade or more?
Yeah. Couldn’t be asked to lift a finger
Passerby6497@lemmy.world 21 hours ago
That’s not ‘the least you can do’ by any means, but good try at a lazy gotcha to someone who has been tear gassed at these kinds of protests for years.
Yes, voting is the least you can do. Protesting is a very good tactic, but choosing to disregard political opportunities tells me you’re not really worth listening to.
Have fun playing computer warrior, kid, I’m tired of you.

Bombing the shit out of the Middle East is the only bipartisanism the US has ever reached, therefore yes, a Democrat would have had to bomb something because that’s what US presidents do. Anyway, keep on blaming voters instead of holding the party accountable for its mistakes.

“Don’t blame the voters who elected the president” is the sort of argument I’d expect from someone intentionally ignoring that he bombed nuclear sites.
BoTh SiDeS arguments are stupid and people who make them should be ignored. Like I said, anything to justify your bad choice.

Both sides arguments are actually pretty enlightened. You can have criticisms of both candidates and vote for harm reduction. If anything the inability to criticize both sides for where they are the same is the same type of belligerent as MAGA. Harris running on building a fucking wall was a fucking disgrace.
But fuck not blaming voters for their stupid fucking decisions and fuck the sham of a democracy the US electoral system is. FPTP and WTA elections in the modern age are a fucking disgrace as well as no equal representation and voting with money.

I didn’t make a choice. I don’t live in the US. But my country is strewn with US military bases and it wasn’t Trump who put them there.
Trump is simply more ignorant about how a US president should bomb the shit out of Middle Eastern countries, but don’t act like he invented anything.
And yes, on some things “both sides suck” because the US have been terrorizing other countries for decades.
They bring desolation and have the gall of calling it peace.
