No, I’m not being blindly loyal. I’m understanding that it’s (frankly kinda idiotic) political posturing. It’s politics. It’s de rigueur.
And moreover, you’re taking the fact that the platform is highlighting the feckless inconsistency and ineptitude of the Trump administration and the guy himself as a “we can do better” statement, while I see it as much more of a “huh, thought you said you’d be ‘strong on defense’, but that didn’t pan out” - I.e., largely pointing out hypocrisy, as well as the fact that he manifestly does not give a shit about the welfare and health of people in the military.

This is the official party platform of the democratic party. This is where they write and then vote on what their party plans to do, not some media piece to dunk on Trump. This is about what they want to do once they're in office. It's their action plan, it's not meant to rally voters by comparing their candidate to Trump.
Read the paragraphs before that, the section that starts with
Through aggressive diplomacy backed by U.S. military power, the Administration has worked alongside our allies and partners to deter and defend against Iran and its terrorist surrogates.
They're proudly displaying their aid in genocide and how they are bombing the middle east and promising more. It's also telling that they are constantly comparing Bidens presidency to Trumps. They absolute plan to stay the course they just switched out the front.
Compare it with their 2020 platform:
Democrats will call off the Trump Administration’s race to war with Iran and prioritize nuclear diplomacy, de-escalation, and regional dialogue. Democrats believe the United States should not impose regime change on other countries and reject that as the goal of U.S. policy toward Iran. We believe the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) remains the best means to verifiably cut off all of Iran’s pathways to a nuclear bomb. The Trump Administration’s unilateral withdrawal from the JCPOA isolated us from our allies and opened the door for Iran to resume its march toward a nuclear weapons capacity that the JCPOA had stopped. That’s why returning to mutual compliance with the agreement is so urgent. The nuclear deal was always meant to be the beginning, not the end, of our diplomacy with Iran. Democrats support a comprehensive diplomatic effort to extend constraints on Iran’s nuclear program and address Iran’s other threatening activities, including its regional aggression, ballistic missile program, and domestic repression
This is a clear shift in rhetoric towards Neocon Warhawk.
I guess they are too close to see it.

And that is absolute nonsense.

Dems have always been more dangerous, they hide among the marginalized as allies until they are ready to strike
Evolutionary pressures are inevitably going to turn them to using the two most effective but distinct strategies for exploiting and controlling voters that can exist. As soon as techniques more effective than, "win by allowing the voters to educate themselves and vote their conscience," were developed, mass democracy was fucked.
Democrats, Republicans, it's all good as long as everyone is pulling in the same direction: transferring wealth from natural, human, and government resources into corporate ownership.
