This is the Democratiic parties election platform 2024 (see P82/P83):
They are literally calling Trump "weak" for not engaging militarily enough. There is no indication the DNC would not have bombed Iran after Israel initiated the war of aggression. Senior democrats like senate leader Chuck Schumer praised Israels "self defense" ffs.
Yeah, this goes beyond Trump/Biden. Bombing brown people in the Middle East is an all-American tradition.
It’s not right, of course, but it’ll take more than just a party change to solve that problem.
I will say at least when democrats do it, it's usually with prior authorization from congress. Doesn't make the result better but it does at least mean they're following the legal framework that provides us the way to change it. When it's done without that you just have a dictator.
