The Iraq war — sold on lies and bungled in its prosecution — has become the embodiment of American hubris in the 21st century. Today, those same diehard war hawks — the very people who planned and carried out the Iraq invasion — are proudly throwing their full support behind Vice President Kamala Harris in the November presidential election.
These hawks say they’re endorsing Harris largely to stop Donald Trump — citing his conduct and “chaotic leadership” — but these prominent conservatives are backing the Democratic nominee because their visions for U.S. foreign policy increasingly appear to be aligned. The Democratic and Republican parties are more unified than ever in their commitment to preserving American hegemony and preventing the multipolar world from emerging.
The party’s 2024 platform also reflects this rightward shift. A section from the 2020 platform on ending forever wars and opposing regime change was completely removed in 2024. The Democratic Party went from calling for an end to U.S. support for Saudi Arabia’s brutal war in Yemen to championing the Biden administration’s plan for a normalization deal between Israel and the Persian Gulf monarchy — a plan that could also put American lives on the line to protect the Saudi dictatorship for decades to come.
Keep the enemy you know and your peons in place rather than risk them being thrown out of the government
Trump will change the status quo and it seems like they put their money on being able to keep their grimy hands on this government
Just my opinion, if it’s right or not who fucking knows
She’s not a felon and hate-spewing bullshit machine who tried to overthrow the country. What more “appeal” does she need? Next question.
Because Dick Cheney would never ally himself with someone that steals elections especially nog George Bush who stole the 2000 elections.
Ooh, you’re right. Because a terrible piece of shit backs a candidate, that automatically makes the candidate bad. Thanks for opening my eyes.
Consider reading your first comment again.
Yeah, whatever. Thanks, genius.
They really only care about maintaining the Empire that uses tax payer money to funnel trillions into a handful corporations (Exxon, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, …). Trump risks destroying this profitable system through incompetence and because he is easily bribed/blackmailed by some countries that are competitors (while alienating allies).
This. Most likely the thinking is that Mr Trump and Co. will make the grift blatantly obvious whereas now it’s just quietly cruising along in the background. They certainly don’t need Trump saying the quiet part out loud with this much money on the line.

Is Kamala basically a 2000’s Republican as all evidence incidates?
No OP is a secret communist Trump supporter!
