    Shocking absolutely nobody, there’s a deafening silence from the blue MAGA brigade that, pre-election, kept crying about how not supporting Israel 100% would sink the Democrats’ chances of winning 100% and that Trump would do oh so much worse. Democrats have already lost the election, and now they double down on a losing policy when they literally have nothing at stake.

    The only difference between a Biden and a Trump administration for Palestine is the speed at which things occur. Biden is fundamentally onboard with the same genocidal policies as Trump is willing to support.

          No, it is about donor money. AIPAC.

          Biden has received more aipac money than any other us politician in history.

          That’s literally all it is.

          Our political system is literally corrupt.

        the election did not represent all of us in the US since there is a segment of the population that is not allowed to vote
