And yet, he is the only thing standing between the US and fascism. There are no other democrats who poll anywhere close to Biden versus Trump or any other republican. So either suck it up and support Biden or prepare for 2024 to be the last fair election in our lifetimes. |
Uh, do understand what the "Abraham Accords" were and Jared ("Bibi used to bounce me on his knee") Kusner's relationship to Netanyahu? Is this a serious question? Netanyahu/trump/Putin - all cut from the same cloth. The only reason Israel is where it is right now is because Netanyahu waged this war to keep his own hide out of jail. |
By bigger things, do you mean a two-state solution? Because Biden is the only hope the world has for that right now. |
A generic D ticket out performs Biden |
Three Theories for Why Trump’s Primary Results Are Not Matching Expectations

No. Netanyahu refuses to step down or he could go to jail, that is true. The war was waged because Hamas brutally attacked Israel on October 7 and 132 hostages are still in Gaza. The Israeli public is united in defending themselves against Hamad monsters. Imagine the US reaction if a country attacked us, mass raped and mutilated, killed (proportional to population) over 35,000 people and kidnapped over 3,500. What do you think we would do? |
You didn’t answer the question. Netanyahu regularly plays Biden for a fool and it’s cringey af. I’m not supporting Trump, but the fact is the guy is so self-absorbed that he couldn’t bear being upstaged. Trump turned on all kinds of people: Tilerson, Bannon, and most relevant here, John Bolton. And if you’re one of those boffins who think this war is only about Netanyahu, when it’s clearly about very deep issues in Israel, you’re probably not worth taking seriously. |
What if the people who attacked Israel had been corralled into a Warsaw Ghetto-style arrangement by Israel for decades? Just asking because it’s the truth! |
Do you also have a problem with Egypt? Do you understand there is a blockade on two sides because there is a SECURITY ISSUE?
No, I thought you didn’t. You’re laser-focused on Israel and only Israel. |
That’s a (potential) answer to one very specific big question. There’s a much longer list of things that matter to the public. And it’s very clear to me, as someone who was close to scads of official DC for decades, that just about everything important to Americans (and the world) has been subordinated to the stupid court games of a gerontocracy. Bigger issues include but are not limited to: -not starting a bigger war -AGW -income inequality -mass corruption -poor governance structures, including crappy elections and other things that produce public distrust -the disappearance of a half-way credible journalism sector -instability in LatAm, including its producing large numbers of migrants -COVID and declining life spans Not everything, but Democrats who can’t see past Trump (or Biden) to the enormity of the above+other problems for the populace deserve to be crapped all over. This is even more true for me given my long-time intimate familiarity with their world, including how much $$$ many have earned keeping things stupid. |
Indeed. Israel is the country that started this genocide! |
You aren't wrong, but here is why he would do those things and why people would support it: It has been known that the humanitarian aid is going to Hamas and the people in the aid groups were part of the October 7th attack, why would we be give money to a terrorist group? It should be stopped. He wouldn't push for a cease-fire because there was one on October 6th that Hamas violated. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. Ditto as above, there was a two state resolution on October 6th, but Hamas and Palestinians in general didn't want it and were advocating for genocide of jews. Why would they suddenly change their minds? |
True, but there is no generic ballot. When you start replacing generic with specific names, Biden outperforms any other option. |
There is nothing on your list that Trump or the republicans would make better. So again, you can either hold your nose and vote for Biden, or our whole country will be transformed into something that the russians would find more familiar than Americans. Reality is a thing and the GOP is telling you their plans. |
