    You vote in a fascist or let one in and the blame the world. You all deserve to be the victim and shunned by everyone.

      “Let one in”

      What do you think I, personally, should have done to stop Trump that I did not do?

      I get you’re angry but this is a braindead political analysis. The US is a highly undemocratic country. Very few people wanted this to happen.

        I can only speak to the person who posted this meme and made the headline blaming people who voted for Kamala

          Yeah I thought the headline was silly as well. I’m not sure what Kamala has to do with soldiers murdering people today. Maybe she normalized it with her positions and statements but she’s never had particularly much influence over any US military actions, and people who voted for her had even less.

            The point being made is that a lot of Democrat voters limit their action to simply voting Democratic and lying by claiming the Democrats are lesser war-hawks, when historically both parties are fundamentally the same in perpetrating death globally. The post title is mocking the soldier in them using “I voted for Kamala” as a defense for his actions, i.e. I didn’t want this to happen so I voted democrat. Also, the joke could be taken further as a “Just following orders” theme, given the soldier voted against this and didn’t want it to happen, but still committed the war crime as ordered.

              I disagree they’re fundamentally the same. Dems are more ambivalent about war compared to full throated support on the right (with some minor exceptions like Massie, Rand, etc.)

              Kamala Harris would not be bombing Iran right now.

              But yeah people should be doing a lot more than voting, there we agree.
