    The difference is that Biden IS the current president and is the one that sidestepped congress to give Israel aid without many strings attached. Yeah, come November, don’t choose orange, but that doesn’t mean Biden shouldn’t face pressure in the meantime.

      And then Congress voted overwhelmingly to not attach said strings after the fact. Biden isn’t the only problem here.

        Biden isn’t the only problem here.

        He isn’t, but he’s one third of the government (one half when it comes to foreign policy) and he’s only been using that position to make the situation worse.

        What a weird comment. As if Congress isn’t universally despised by antiwar activists. Let me know how else protestors can feasibly make demands directly to an entire branch of government that isn’t just one person.

        Yeah and if I could vote for other states congress people then that would matter but until then I just got like two dudes who represent me there, probably different ones than you. Probably ones you’ve never heard of, so am I really gonna dox my district by talking about two specific dudes who few if any of you are familiar with?

      If anything increase the pressure so they actually feel threatened enough to get some progressive work done.

      Problem is that the pressure of today may lead the orange man to win tomorrow.

        Then maybe Biden should do something differently. It’s his reelection and he claims his only reason for running is to defeat Trump.
