Can voters trust Jeffries and the Democrats to act differently than Republicans who say the war should end but who then enable its continuation through their actions?

Voters have heard promises about Iran before. Trump campaigned on ending forever wars and avoiding another war with Iran, only to do the opposite. Joe Biden promised to restore the Iran nuclear agreement ripped up by Trump, but then pursued a different strategy that failed to produce a deal and helped pave the way for the war. These broken promises are precisely why Democrats should understand that another open pledge to “end the war” will not be enough.

They can't, because they fucking won't. But at least its a step in the right direction. Got a long way to go before our society gets any better, though

It's that time if the year where we swap the right wingers for the other right wingers. Get ready for a whole lot of nothing.
