But they … DO something about this issue in-between elections. They are protesting and demanding the Biden administration to change their course. That is political action. What else are they supposed to do? Anything other than playing with the political power that’s left to them?
Everybody against those demanding a harder approach against Netanjahu’s genocidal campaign and threatening their votes is talking about how these people have to save democracy by voting Biden regardless of what he’s doing. Well, isn’t that part of a democracy?
Of course it’s part of a democracy. But the point everyone’s making is that it’s a very dumb thing to do because it’s likely to reduce your democratic power in the future.
Is the president not at fault at all when he doesn’t change his course? Also a majority of people seem to favor a ceasefire. Why not at least for campaign purposes actually enforce a ceasefire from Netanyahu?

That largely depends on how you ask the question. Based on this article:
Support a ceasefire? 64vs13%
Support a unilateral ceasefire (as in: what’s effectively what’s being asked for Biden to threaten to pull support for today)? 28vs44%
I’m sure if you as who supports ‘peace in the Middle East’ you’ll get a large majority, but that decision isn’t really on the table
