It's a significant oversimplification to say that Biden could bring about a cease-fire with one call.
The bloodlust (cloaked as self-defense) unleashed by Netanyahu's unhinged response will not be easily stopped. Israel is a wealthy country...this war has begun to have economic ripples, but the reliance on the US isn't what it once was.
What Biden could have done (and ignored 3 opportunities to do so) is to join calls for a cease-fire. This will be Biden's legacy.
My position is that every presidential administration in modern history has been abysmal and utterly incoherent on foreign policy.
Irrespective of this current policy atrocity, democracy won't survive a 2nd Trump term. Anyone who says otherwise is lying or in denial.
I expect nothing from a 2nd Biden term, other than avoiding full collapse into authoritarianism. If we manage to keep the Senate, 4 more years to dilute the toxic pool of partisan Trump judges.
Those who are rightfully disgusted with oblivious Democratic leadership have one choice: vote for Biden and down-ballot Democrats. Any other choice is a vote for Trump.
Changing our rotted system takes grassroots effort. It means running for local and state offices, volunteering to elect candidates, showing up for school board meetings, and voting in every election.
It's a fantasy that replacing Biden would change anything without the hard work of fixing the infrastructure.
It’s a sad and scary state that we’re in. Picking the worse of two evils is no way to proceed, but at this stage of the game, that’s imminent. The democrats should have been tailoring a proper candidate the minute (if not sooner) Biden got elected. We are up against a brick wall due to their complacency. I am honestly terrified for what will happen should Trump get elected. If we thought it was bad the first time around, be prepared for a dictatorship equivalent to the Hitler regime.
I agree with almost every word.
