Former President Obama’s senior adviser David Axelrod said it is unhelpful to dismiss concerns about President Biden’s poor marks in major polls, defending his recent criticism of the president’s r…
I agree. The Dems are doing a pretty crappy job, like they did in 2015-16. I have no idea why Biden think he needs to run again when he could pass the torch to someone like Newsom and it would be much more energizing. It’s pretty egotistical of him when he already said he wasn’t going to run a 2nd time, and I don’t get this “only I can beat trump” idea he has. I don’t think it was true in 2020 and it’s not now. And yes, the Israel support needs to go, but of course, it’s not only Biden - it’s a wide swath of politicians in Congress from both parties who are happy to give Israel a blank check and look the other way. That needs to change somehow and it would take a lot more than a presidential election.

Of course it isn’t. No Democrat should be supporting genocide. But the guy who stands between us and Trump has no business inviting that comparison. It shouldn’t be a choice between “hell yes, genocide” and “we can have a little genocide, as a treat. It’ll stop there, we pwomise.”
It should be “Fuck no. No genocide. ‘Never again’ means something, dammit.” Democrats expect us to accept moral victory over actual victory every time. They expect us to be happy that they have adhered to procedure for its own sake, no matter how many suffering people that requires they abandon. Watching them turn around and support genocide is all those slaps in the face all over again, plus the gutpunch of knowing that the party that’s all about moral victory has been itchin’ for genocide this whole time.
