Please fucken tell me Biden is not throwing away his own chances to back a fucking genocide. You are sacrificing your own people at home so some dudes across the world can murder and take more land. Democracy is gonna fucken die in America because Biden is going to blunder his entire reputation siding with a fucken monster.
Biden doesn’t really have a good path either way, and Netanyahu knows it.
If he goes too easy on Bibi, he loses support and Netanyahu gets Trump, which is great for Netanyahu. If Biden goes too hard on him, the same thing happens. It makes sense when we realize that Netanyahu’s goal is to get Trump I’m office so that both he and Trump can stay out of prison.
What Biden is doing is probably the least bad option, and if he wins Netanyahu’s toast.
If Biden cut all support to Israel he would win the popular vote easily. I don’t know what losing that AIPAC money does but is losing that really worse than pissing off your entire base?
His overall polling hasn’t changed much since September, so I doubt Israel is moving the needle. If anything he’s polling slightly better than before the invasion of Gaza.
The vast majority of registered voters support Israel Even among Democrats most (77%) will still vote for Biden even if they disagree with him. I had a hard time finding registered voters opinions vs Democrat voters, so I could be wrong. The exact wording seemed to make a big difference. The most disapproval was seen among young voters. This really isn’t a winning issue on either side.
