Just to chime in with Anon here. I’m someone who leans libertarian and communist. I pragmatically vote for the Democrats. Because it’s simply the best effective way to actually improve things. I would dearly love to have actual left-leaning parties with actual left leaning policies getting elected to support. I don’t want to vote for right wing liberals. But at best, they’re the ones to get elected.
There is not a single person, especially in politics that hasn’t made mistakes or have baggage. You can hold grudges against people eternally. But it’s often to your own detriment. People can change, grow. If you give them the chance. And sincerely, Biden really seems to have. Remember for a moment, the fact we currently even have marriage equality ATM. Is due to one of those patented Biden “gaffes”. Putting Obama, who’d previously been very clear about not supporting it on the spot.
Diplomacy sucks. Ask anyone who’s had to dealt in it. They’ll still tell you it’s vital. We should have never gotten involved with Israel, 70 years ago. Flash forward to today and it couldn’t be clearer. It is possible to believe Biden is a clueless, biased, tone deaf old man. It’s also possible to believe that the administration is trying to maintain friendly, non antagonistic relations with Israel. In an attempt to appeal to them as a friend. The administration is pushing for a 2 state solution currently. Something Netanyahu absolutely doesn’t want. Israel will continue the genocide regardless of what Biden did. I think it’s far too late to save Israel. But it is generally a sound strategy.
