    Yeah, that’s what frustrates me. There are legitimate concerns around Biden as president. However, every single one of those concerns also applies to Trump, as well as a million more much worse concerns

      Exactly. Biden’s foreign policy - like just about every other politician, with very few exceptions - is going to be problematic on at least several key points. Anyone paying the least bit attention and not smitten by the “Washington consensus” already knows this.

      But with Republicans in charge and donnie leading them - in addition to an even worse foreign policy, the domestic policy could be so much worse and this time around, there will be less guardrails, and no guarantee that we have any elections past 2024. It’s clear donnie would rather it all burn down than he face even the least bit of consequences for anything he’s done.

        I just want a presidential candidate to outright say during their announcement for candidacy, “fuck Israel”.

        Like on one of those late night shows, whatever. Make it poignant, make it clear, and obvious. Just because I wanna see how it goes.
