A week later Democrats appear to be ignoring 64 million voters who told them “Peace Now”

After 47 years of calling Iran the great enemy of America for taking 66 hostages in 1979, Democrats simply cannot bring themselves to admit Iran has never been an enemy of the US, has never sought a nuclear weapon and has never deserved two dastardly unprovoked attacks in 7 months.

Even President Trump and Vice President Vance are admitting their disastrous rejection by voters was fueled by rising fuel prices caused by Trump’s failed Iran war. Trnmp pulled his punches, “I think a part of it was Iran.” Vance delivered a haymaker: “The reason we lost is the war. The president himself said so last night… everyone knows why we lost.”

Voters concurred. Nearly two thirds polled said the decision to attack Iran was wrong and over 90% cited the high cost of living it imposed on the country a crucial factor in their vote against Republican rule.

Likely Democratic congressional leaders Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Shumer are promising that affordability will be Agenda One in the Democratic led Congress beginning January 3. But while they bleat ‘affordability, affordability, affordability,’ the need to shut down the Iran war on Iran’s reasonable terms as the victor dare not speaks its name.

1. Complete end to US military opeations
2. Lifting of the US naval blockade on Iranian ports
3. Removal of US economic sanctions on Iran
4. Release of upwards of $100 billion in Iranians assets held worldwide
5. Compensation for war damages
6. Reduction of Us military presence in the region
7. No future military attacks on Iran

Democrats cannot bring down the cost of gas, diesel and all the commodities fuel delivers to consumers without confronting the failed Iran war head on. But Democrats are loathe to do this.

Why? Democrats have been locked into demonizing Iran as the No. 1 enemy of Israel which is America’s partner in dominating the Middle East. Democrats refused to condemn Trump’s February 28 Iran war as being instigated by Israel simply to rid Israel of its last hegemonic rival. Democrats refused to call out Trump’s delusional war rationale Iran was imminently close to acquiring a nuclear weapon and was prepared to use it on California cities. Democrats refused to call for Trump to be charged wth war crimes for launching a war of choice that killed thousands in a failed attempt to please his master Netanyahu in Israel.

After 47 years of calling Iran the great enemy of America for taking 66 hostages in 1979, Democrats simply cannot bring themselves to admit Iran has never been an enemy of the US, has never sought a nuclear weapon and has never deserved two dastardly unprovoked attacks in 7 months.

With Trump refusing to return to the June 17 Memorandum of Understanding he signed which would have ended the war on Iran’s 7 sensible terms, there will be no end to the oil shortages fueling unaffordability in America and world0wide.

And until Democrats stop ignoring the wishes of the American people who gave them a mandate to make peace with Iran to truly make life affordable, there will be no affordability relief from the Democrats in 2027 and beyond.

For Democrats its not the economy stupid…it’s the war stupid.
