Trump has waffled on whether the Israel-Gaza war should end. But speaking to wealthy donors behind closed doors, he said that he supports Israel’s right to continue “its war on terror.”
Former president Donald Trump promised to crush pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses, telling a roomful of donors — a group that he joked included “98 percent of my Jewish friends” — that he would expel student demonstrators from the United States, according to participants in the roundtable event with him in New York.
Agreed, but the next President is going to be either the guy who is supporting Israel because he wants the money or the guy who is supporting Israel because he loves their authoritarianism and wants to bring it here.
You’re telling on yourself here bud, I think you need to go back to history class. You can’t just throw away all nuance by framing a strawman. It is absolutely not black and white like that and there is absolutely a lot more at play then just money or authoritarianism, namely history.
That doesn’t change the fact that the next President will be either:
Self proclaimed zionist, Joe Biden:

The literal pro-Genocide candidate, Donald Trump:

“We have to let Israel complete their war on terror. It’s a horrible thing, but they have to do it.” Trump added that Israel must “clean out the cancer.”
There are no other viable candidates. The only thing stopping one of these men from becoming President is a massive health event.
Should it be Trump, things will not only be devastating for Gaza, they will become a nightmare here:

This is why it’s contingent on everyone who cares to hold their nose and vote for Biden. The alternative is a disaster.
And in either case, unless voters stop the bleeding, Democrats will always have an authoritarian figure dangling over their head as a threat to their rights so they can remain in power. So 50, 60, 70 100 years from now we can keep having the same conversations where nobody is making enough money. Nobody can afford housing. Nobody has health care. Nobody has access to education, while they continue blaming the other side as to why nobody has any rights.
In this case, the Republicans are to blame as they block everything in the Senate and have loaded the Supreme Court to rule against things like fair and honest congressional districts and student loan relief.
Instead of punching left every chance they got, democrats should have been holding their politicians accountable. They are just as much to blame for current political problems as those Republicans you mentioned.
