there’s the red team. Burn through our fossil resources with reckless abandon. War, war, war, and more war.

The blue team is doing the same thing: burning through fossil resources in the name of war. The military complex doesn't stop or change when blue or red are elected.

I encourage you to keep studying and researching. Politics isn't a football match where teams compete against each others and "left" and "right" are two buzzwords.

No offense but I think OP has a better grasp of this than you do

So, what do you think is happening in Palestine? In Lebanon?

You're acting like that's the only policy point that exists. There are meaningful differences in other areas. I don't have enough non-propagandized information to argue for sure that there are differences in the middle east war department, but the parties certainly aren't the same on all war-related matters (see Ukraine/Russia as an example). Their rhetoric is different for the middle east but again I can't speak for their actions. And obviously their non-war policies are drastically different.
