    I’ve been trying to explain this to people for about a year.

    Support of Israel is non-negotiable in US politics. 95% of the political establishment supports whatever they want to do. So, it’s not at all about Biden. Want to say Genocide US, sure, that makes sense. Pinning it on Biden just managed to slam him in an election year. The main point is that sure, after criticizing them, we didn’t get Kamala or Biden, who had bad Palestine policies, but instead got someone worse who is also worse on basically every issue. Environment, labor, and financial regulation, human rights abroad, LGBT rights, policing, everything.

    Ukraine had not been abandoned by Biden? They sent them something like $120 billion in arms right before Trump took office. What’s Trump going to send? Nothing, most likely. I’m not sure what you’re getting at there. The US has obviously given lots of support to Ukraine. Democrats have been all for it; Republicans have kicked up a fuss and said a bunch of bullshit about it, and now they’re in charge.
