    It feels like we are stuck in a horrific time loop. Biden draws a red line; Netanyahu mocks it. Netanyahu professes support for a peace plan; Biden endorses it; Netanyahu then sabotages it. Biden keeps right on financing Bibi’s war crimes in Gaza, looking both complicit in barbarism and feeble as a leader, reinforcing his image as too frail for the job.

    Get soaked, rinse, repeat.

    And the killing goes on and on and on—the killing of Palestinian civilians, the killing of any possible regional peace agreement, the slow killing of Biden’s re-election chances, and the ominous killing of American democracy.

    Even if you just legitimately don’t care about the victims of this genocide, or that your tax dollars pay for it…

    This is costing him votes. And he can’t afford to lose, well, really any votes from 2020.

    Even Biden knows this. But he’d rather let trump become president, because as everyone points out, trump will support the genocide too.

    Biden cares more about avoiding a short pause to this genocide than preventing trump from becoming president for the next four years.

    There’s still time to run literally anyone else, be cause Biden has made it clear he won’t listen or change his mind.
