Right, so your argument is that democrats are performative which is just as bad as the republicans actively starting wars?

Is there a more steelmanned version of this that I can ignore once you start making more false equivalencies in its defense?

The difference might be there in regards to Iran, with it's global market impact. But it's not there in regards to human life or suffering. That was made _very_ clear during the electoral campaign. But now it's _very different_ because it's "them" doing it and we can say we were always against this.

We have to say "us good, them bad" because we're voting the same way next time, and we're not planning to vote for something bad, right?
