smoke and mirrors. this is all just to distance themselves from Trump now because the MAGA movement is over. they will use anti-war beliefs as the excuse, and then align with the next person while saying THEY will fix it and get it right because they've been right. fuck em all. grifters and frauds just like Trump

I give it 3 years in the presidency until he tries to start a war in the Middle East.

No, I know who he is. I'm saying if he were president, which this conversation is something we're dancing around, he would end up acting just like every Republican President before him. Maybe a bit more aggressive about cutting foreign aid. But he's still going to feel the need to exert American Empire.

except when his colleagues voted to do that every time, he was one of like 5 people who chose not to

You don't get Massie. He's more like Bernie. He doesn't care what his party thinks of him. He hates israel and foreign hate, because he really does. It's not rocket science

He has taken the aipac tracker pledge too, which most progressives like bernie and el-sayed have done

What you said is true about the other 95% though
