Biden, 81, is the oldest president in history and Trump, 77, would be the second-oldest if he wins in November. And they’re increasingly frequent misspoken comments have drawn increased scrutiny—and concern.
That’s what I’ve been trying to explain to people from the start… Biden needs Jewish support. If he comes out against Israel, he loses that, and the kids supporting Palestine will go “Yeah, but you didn’t do it soon enough.” Lose/Lose.
Well, he needs the support of both and anyone with a half-functioning brain to know the difference between a dictatorship and a democracy.
The problem with these people is that they don’t understand the nuance of how things work. They’re reactionary idealists, and they’re dangerous, but not at all in the way they think…
They’re dangerous to the survival of democracy.
Any support of genocide is abhorrent, but it isn’t reason to sacrifice your own country in order to make a stand. Especially when there’s a worse version salivating over the chance to do worse.
Yep. But these things don’t fuel their outrage. So they deny the reality of it and continue on with their smear campaigns all while feeling like they did good.
They have no fucking clue how bad things will be when Trump gets his second and last shot at destroying America.

The sad fact of the matter is the Israel lobby is where the money is which is why Biden has stuck with them as long as he has.
If the Palestinian movement and the college kid movement had the money to donate, it wouldn’t be an issue.
AIPAC knows they don’t so you get things like:
