Correct. Instead, dems would have declined to roll back any of those laws “so we have something to campaign on next time” until voters get fed up with their ineffectiveness and vote R next time. THEN, we get the invasions.
Comment on How does Chuck Schumer still have a job?

The fact of the matter is that if Democrats had been elected, there would have been no invasion of Venezuela, nor Iraq two decades ago.
Let us not kid ourselves. Non-voting eligible American voters let trump take the reins again, with control of Congress and the Supreme Court, knowing he could pull shit like this at any moment, yet still sat on their lazy asses TWO Election Days, fondling their purity, bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe LoL, and now they’re like… “C’mon Schumer… dazzle me and my most excellent purity over here!”
Elections have huge consequences, so spare us the righteous outrage. Whatever blood gets spilled, it’s also on those soft, tender, lily-white hands of non-voting deadweights.
Also, twice is a pattern: “Vote for a woman?!! Me?!! When PIGS FLY!!!”

It’s easier to complain and blame the “other” instead of the actual people doing the deed, it seems. I am so sick of the generation of people who like to say that all “blank” are the same - instead of looking for something worth fighting/voting for. Nuance takes time and paying attention takes away from the fun things. Local politics is easier to discern which of the parties is actually governing, so the least that can be done is voting for the party in your local elections that actually falls parallel to your values (or is the closest) - but again, it’s easier to just complain than to actually do something about it.

Biden increased sanctions on Venezuela.
During the Venezuelan election, when the US-backed opposition leader said that he wouldn’t give the oilfields back to the US, Biden had their financial support cut off and arrested opposition members living in the US.
The Venezuelan policy is bipartisan.

There hasn’t been a single war that the DNC hasn’t been bloodthirsty to get into. Iraq was bipartisan and Biden expanded the bounty on Maduro to $25m. House Democrats just gave $8b more in funding than what was requested for war.
