    Yeah I thought the headline was silly as well. I’m not sure what Kamala has to do with soldiers murdering people today. Maybe she normalized it with her positions and statements but she’s never had particularly much influence over any US military actions, and people who voted for her had even less.

      The point being made is that a lot of Democrat voters limit their action to simply voting Democratic and lying by claiming the Democrats are lesser war-hawks, when historically both parties are fundamentally the same in perpetrating death globally. The post title is mocking the soldier in them using “I voted for Kamala” as a defense for his actions, i.e. I didn’t want this to happen so I voted democrat. Also, the joke could be taken further as a “Just following orders” theme, given the soldier voted against this and didn’t want it to happen, but still committed the war crime as ordered.
