(1,307 posts)Ronald Reagan led to almost 200,000 Americans dying because of his refusal to do anything about AIDS for most of his term.
Nixon pretended to want peace with North Vietnam, but instead escalated the war, leading to more than 20,000 additional American soldiers dead. Nixon started the war on drugs as a way to attack blacks and hippies. It has led to the largest mass incarceration rate in the world, millions of harmed and ruined lives, and a very high overdose rate due to the illicit drug trade (overdose deaths reached 100,000 a year in the pandemic years alone.)
Bush led to a million Iraqis dead.
Trump's dismissal of the severity of COVID and refusal to support mandatory masks has no doubt led to a large chunk if not the majority of COVID deaths in the United States (hundreds of thousands of people.)
If you care so much about lives, then allowing a Republican to become president just because you're angry at Biden not doing enough about Palestinian lives will just lead to more deaths. A lot of leftists seem to refuse to vote for Kamala and it's only going to lead to a lot more deaths.
