basically the choice is between an incumbent who is pressured by a coalition that has become broadly sympathetic to the palestinians and an incumbent who is pressured by a coalition that wants to obliterate them www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
Donald Trump declared his support for Israel's ongoing siege on Gaza and attacked immigrants in a Fox News interview.
But honestly with a track record like his we have to assume his campaign promises won't get done and only a partial obliteration will happen, same as what the other guy would have done but slower and more over budget. Either way were stuck with whoever the electoral college chooses.
in this, as in many things of import, Trump proudly declares his devotion to the worst possible policies while Biden struggles to deal with the worst possible circumstances. Trump WANTS the worst possible circumstances to happen.
Endlösung.
every time i hear someone say trump is no worse my soul dies a little
As a Canadian, I feel bad for Americans and your broken electoral system that produces these horrible choices. I couldn't imagine voting for either, but sure, one side is a little bit worse...
I mean what is the functional difference between trumps policy and bidens policy on this? Biden hasn't even removed Trump's rules regarding Israel. They both fully back the Israel attack on Gaza. The only difference is that Biden's policy hurts electorally. Yet he refuses to change it.
This is true in terms of presentation, but perhaps false in terms of policy: Trump is, if anything, an isolationist in outlook, whereas Biden is a Zionist, as he says.
… Obliterate them and has talked about turning significant regions of the Mideast into glass
“Pressured by” doing a lot of work in making them seem starkly different. Is Biden actually responding to pressure or is he resisting it? Is Trump? They’re both leaning the same way as far as Gazans can see.
I think the main worry after Michigan should be quotes from some Dem strategists relying on voters “falling in line” when it comes down to a binary vote in November. Reminder that as a campaign, fear is not a winning strategy.
