    The point being made is that a lot of Democrat voters limit their action to simply voting Democratic and lying by claiming the Democrats are lesser war-hawks, when historically both parties are fundamentally the same in perpetrating death globally. The post title is mocking the soldier in them using “I voted for Kamala” as a defense for his actions, i.e. I didn’t want this to happen so I voted democrat. Also, the joke could be taken further as a “Just following orders” theme, given the soldier voted against this and didn’t want it to happen, but still committed the war crime as ordered.

      I disagree they’re fundamentally the same. Dems are more ambivalent about war compared to full throated support on the right (with some minor exceptions like Massie, Rand, etc.)

      Kamala Harris would not be bombing Iran right now.

      But yeah people should be doing a lot more than voting, there we agree.
