    Hahaha I’m sorry, what? Now you’re just going off the deep end.

    I’d rather ensure my mother doesn’t live with Trump as president for another 4 years. It’s not good for her blood pressure.

    Unfortunately you just seem far too short-sighted to comprehend the big picture, here. You’d rather manufacture purity tests for the Democrats even if that means holding the door open for literal evil. Classic pyrrhic victory.

    Lambast Democrats all you want. Yet Every Single progressive advancement we’ve had in this country has come through the Democratic party.

      I’m not saying to not vote for Biden to prevent the fascism of Trump. I will. And I have to make peace with that, if I can. But I’m not gonna lie to myself and others to justify this administrations actions regarding Palestine. Genocide should never be condoned, even for poll numbers.

        I entirely sympathize with that and think this is a very grounded comment. From my view I feel Democrats are losing the information war and our ties to Israel are too deep to just uproot overnight without disastrous consequences.

        I weigh the pros/cons of: Biden cutting all ties and aid overnight with Israel versus the risk to popularity and losing the election and handing the keys to Trump. Put another way: if this wasn’t election season and polls weren’t this tight, I think Biden would’ve dropped Israel much faster and absorbed the risk. (sort of like withdrawing from Afghanistan far away from an election).

        It is imperative every one of us keep pushing against the Israeli narrative so we alter the polling in favor of walking away from Israel.
