“I think what you’re reacting to is that, at the moment, Biden is an unpopular president seeking a second term while Trump is a popular figure inside his party who is winning primary races. I wouldn’t necessarily compare the two.”

    If you went here and had a substantive rebuttal to the reasons Biden’s actually been way above average for a US president, you’d be the first.

      spent several months engaged in absolutely war-criminal support for Israel’s genocide in Gaza

      I feel like you laid out why ^ in your own post where you think you’re supporting Biden. You’re also is incorrect about the US putting military personnel in Gaza (they’re not, but that wouldn’t be good anyways). They’re explicitly building the pier without actually landing any personnel. You’re also overstating the ‘sanctions’ Biden is putting on settlers; they applied to like 7 (sorry, after double-checking that I wasn’t understating it, it turns out I was overstating it; it only applies to) 4 nobodies who the sanctions in no way actually harm.

      But he’s showing some little stumbling signs of humanity as regards our Israel policy, which is un heard of for a US politician.

      Might-actually-be-the-Devil-Ronald-Reagan was harsher on Israel than Biden is being, and it wasn’t even over a genocide. Reagan cut off weapons sales to Israel after they bombed Iran’s nuclear materials program at Osirak. He allowed 21 UN resolutions condemning Israel to pass without vetoing them, and even backed the resolution (UNSC 248) condemning the attack on Osirak. He also slowed down aid to Israel to pressure them to withdraw troops from Lebanon, and publicly condemned them on multiple occasions.

      Reagan is a literal evil gremlin, and Biden doesn’t even come close to matching his response to Israel’s evil bullshit.

      Every time you downplay or misrepresent Biden’s actions on Gaza, you normalize them.
