    Yes, the issue with the war in Iran is that it hasn’t been waged correctly. Im John Kerry and I’m reporting for duty.

    You’re taking the part where I’m being charitable and accepting the other person’s (and your) premise that a war under Harris is inevitable for the sake of argument, and twisting that into as if I was arguing for it, which is incorrect. I will engage no further with you on this.

      No, I’m taking your argument: “If a war were to be waged with Iran, you would prefer it would be waged by Kamala, because then it would be done competently” and pointing out your main issue with the war in Iran is how it is waged. The rest of your argument is: “I don’t think Kamala would go to war with Iran.” So, while you make allusions, the only actual objection you place to the war is that it is waged incompetently.
      I am then making an assumption, which is unfalsifiable, that if a war were waged with Iran under democratic leadership, you would not find it disagreeable, because you would buy into the propaganda that would be used to make you accept it. Probably something about the inflated number of dead protesters. Or some pinkwashing.
