    So your quoting something that was clearly misspoken as why you dislike him so greatly. The sentence makes no sense as many pointed out on every news station at the time saying he misspoke.

    If it wasn’t two sentences garbled together like everyone assumed, who exactly are Israel proxies that he wants to expand? It very clearly was meant to be something along the line of Iran and it’s proxies (referring to the actual subject of the conversation, Hezbollah) are expanding. Hezbollah “expanding” at the time was considered a big threat because the U.S. was dumping shit tons of cash to stop the attacks on ships instead of telling Israel we would sanction them and cut all further support unless they withdrew from Gaza and called an immediate permanent ceasefire. (Which is why Hezbollah was shooting at ships).

    Biden should have made an executive order to do so and demanded the sanctions be placed. (which Congress would have said no too, but if the president bluffed, we don’t know if Israel would have stopped or been certain they could wait for Congress to say no).

                No I haven’t said anything about my sentiment about Waltz. He has said we can’t allow what is/has happened to the people in Gaza to happen, and supported immediate ceasefire though. Which go completely against why you say you dislike him.

                …also “lying to us” really? The sentence made no sense. Even Fox pointed out he misspoke and he said Israel instead of Iran. And made fun of him for it. There was more wrong about the sentence than just that… it’s 2 sentences jammed together incorrectly like he looked down and read the next like or something.

                  It wouldn’t go completely against what I said in any way shape or form because Gaza isn’t in Iran. The Iran bit isn’t a misspeak, the Question given by the Monitor was about whether or not Walz would support a preemptive strike on Iran. If you don’t believe the verbatim quotes with full text in full context in the comment I made above, go watch the debate and see for yourself.

                  Tim Walz is a not a good candidate and I want better options than him next election.
