Which Democratic candidate has run on a platform of bombing Iran to liberate them?

Do you not see how the way the democrats who voted against the War Powers Resolution justified their votes? There is bipartisan consensus on imperialism abroad and concentration camps at home.

Oh, I thought you were referring to the electorate voting on candidates that were explicitly pro war with Iran.

As for how the two parties voted in the House of Representatives, I would argue that there is a clear material difference between one party voting 210-4 to reign in Trump's war, and the other voting 215-2 to let Trump keep on bombing.

The same with how the two parties voted in the Senate.

None of them ever campaign on these issues, they just do it. There's never been a war that Democrats weren't foaming at the mouth to get into

When leftists do attack Republicans, you think we are one of you. Republicans and Democrats are cut them the exact same cloth, for the exact same ends.

Socialists are not democrats, they are on the polar opposite of the political scale. The Democrats as a whole do not mind fascism. They just prefer it covert, something they don't have to think about or see or even acknowledge, something they won't interrupt their brunch.
