    Bait. The idea that Trump is a dove candidate is just ignoring how much he expanded military operations and drone killings worldwide. He was just politically savvy enough to understand that you just have to be quiet about it, and then voters will just give you a pass. The Dems are also bloodthirsty, but just dumb enough to do it out in the open during an election year for a cause that is unpopular.

        Technically Biden hasn't started any wars, and actually ended one. That doesn't make him any less or more of a dove candidate than Trump, those decisions are generally not made by the president, but rubber-stamped afterwards. You're a moron if you think voting for the president actually affects the foreign policy agenda in a way that benefits anyone outside the MIC.

            Listen moron, the U.S. is in something around the lines of 45 undeclared conflicts. They don't have to declare war for us to be at war. Trump didn't declare war when he did drone strikes in Syria, despite that being an act of war. It is unlikely that Biden will ever declare war even if we expand our theatres of conflict. We literally have boots on the ground acting in Gaza right now, and it hasn't been declared 'a war'. Stop pretending you live in a democracy, it's embarrassing.
