    Biden/Harris knew they’d lose the left if they continued to ship weapons and they shipped them anyway. So here we are.

      Nobody is spending millions on an election campaign when they knew they were going to lose my dude.

        Not unless it’s other peoples’ money. Good thing US election campaigns are self financed /s

        They raised over a billion dollars after Harris got the nomination.

        They spent a quarter of that on sending door knockers to the same people’s houses 2-3 times.

        And they donate money to Republican outsider campaigns to try to siphon votes off the Republican incumbent (who they usually still lose to anyway).

        They would absolutely spend millions of dollars thinking they were going to lose. It’s not their money, and their lives will not change whether it’s spent or not.
