Of course, Biden should absolutely be pressured to change policy on Israel.

Democrats in general should be pressured to be better on a host of issues. Complaints are seen as evidence of a vast international conspiracy to install Trump.

This is likely to be a close election and talking endless shit about Biden and encouraging people from voting or encouraging them to vote 3rd party absolutely is a gift to Trump.

I’m not encouraging anyone to not vote or to vote third party, and won’t. I do mention that such voters exist and that Biden must appeal to them if he wants to win, because I consider that to be the political reality. Like anything that centrists see as a threat to their slide rightward, that exact phrasing is immediately interpreted as ZOMG RUSSKIE! Demanding silence in the face of genocide is what the bad guys in the documentary do.

Netanyahu would love for Trump to be elected, as would Putin. It would be a greenlight for them to be even worse in their respective wars.

And Biden is doing exactly what all three despots want. Continuing supporting Netanyahu is losing Biden voters. As I keep saying and you lot keep ignoring, I’m voting for Biden. But I can’t and won’t ignore that his positions will cause him to lose if he persists.

Throwing this election over that issue makes absolutely no sense, though.

Then Biden should stop throwing this election over that issue.
