    The way I see it. Biden is really choosing to die on this hill. It is irresponsible for him to support Israel when the stakes are this high.

    Why is he not taking this seriously?

      He is. Support for Israel is policy, not politics. It’s not Biden supporting Israel… it’s the entire US political establishment that does.

      You might just as well ask Biden to stop the US from being imperialist - no member of the US political establishment would ever do that. Period.

      This is why you see liberals everywhere heeding the clarion call to pre-emptively start looking for people to blame when Biden hands over to the GOP (the “bad cop”) come November.

        No I agree. The establishment is fucked. And If Biden were actually serious about beating Trump (because the stakes are rightfully so high), then he’d Buck the establishment.

        Neoliberals would rather have a Dictator Trump than a Progressive Policy. Which is hilarious when the "progressive policy " is just a sign that says “no genocide”.
