She’s not wrong.
Assassinating an Iranian general and tearing up the non proliferation treaty?
Trump did more drone strikes in his first 2 years than Obama did in 8.

They're a far-right radical cosplaying as a leftist for propaganda, of course they will deliberately ignore what Donald did.
No. It's the Democrats who have become far right.
You wrote you are "leaning towards" Donald. You have zero integrity whatsoever. Same with all the other MAGAs.
Integrity is being loyal to my ideals, not to a party that has drifted so far right (in ideology, in rhetoric, in incivility) that they are almost indistinguishable from Republicans.
Your ideals are MAGA, and you do have integrity towards them by posting pro-Donald propaganda. The lack of integrity I am calling out is you pretending to be on the left side of Dems and Repubs. "Dems have drifted too far right therefore I will vote further right than that." Ok, buddy. We can all see what your motivations are.
That's the thing. On the issues I most care about (Israel, immigration), I don't think the Republicans are further right than the Democrats anymore.
Therefore you are leaning towards Donald because they are also further right than Dems on issues you care about: increasing misogyny and homophobia, tax cuts for the extremely wealthy, theocratic SCOTUS, and so on. You are a MAGA and you want MAGA things.
i don't see the democrats siding with assad as he gasses his own people like tulsi does.
trump literally dropped the largest non nuclear bomb on afghanistan, threatened to go thermonuclear against north korea, assassinated iran's military leader, ripped up a peace deal, increased presence in iraq, vetoed the bipartisan end of us involvement in yemen, and called for israel to turn gaza into a parking lot.
And, sadly, that’s still pretty pacifist as far as US presidencies go.
I'm pretty sure Kamala hasn't started any wars as president.
How is the opposite true about Kamala? The quote just ends there. No evidence is given. Either Gabbard is being sloppy or the journalist is.
Because she isn’t taking measures to de-escalate and avoid wars. Her rhetoric has been nothing but hawkish (on Hamas, Iran, Ukraine, etc.).
And now, just days after her hawkish speech about supporting Israel, we’re now seeing Israel initiate conflict with Lebanon. Good job, Kamala. And she’s not even president yet.
Lol man you are working overtime 😂😂😂 half the root comments I've read have been you spouting something goofy. That's some basement dweller shit.
Oh, so it's no longer geocide joe eh?
What do you mean?
Because I agreed with something Gabbard said about Harris, you think I no longer oppose Joe Biden?
I think you are a serial spammer, and I'm blocking you lol.
You asked me a question and I responded. That's not spamming.
