Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) said policy differences toward Israel between her and President Biden won’t stop her from supporting him in the November general election.
“Of course,” Omar said Tuesday, when asked by CNN’s Abby Phillip on “NewsNight” whether she would vote for Biden if the election were held that day, in a clip highlighted by Mediaite. “Democracy is on the line, we are facing down fascism.”
“And I personally know what my life felt like having Trump as the president of this country, and I know what it felt like for my constituents, and for people around this country and around the world,” Omar continued. “We have to do everything that we can to make sure that does not happen to our country again.”
Sounds like cutting off arms supplies to Israel is a bargain then. Moderates should be happy to compromise on that in order to support continued democracy yes?
Sure, but he doesn’t actually have the power to do that unilaterally without consequences as some people think.
Are those consequences worse than discontinuation of Democracy?
Considering the potential consequences includes the risk of losing the election to Trump? They’re the same picture.
Let’s dissect that shall we? So you’re saying there are people who voted for Biden in the 2020 general election who would not vote for him in the 2024 general election if he cuts off weapon shipments to Israel?

Unfortunately yes, it would be nice if the world was perfect, but it’s not
Here’s a crazy idea: Spend your time and energy shaming those people for being shitty.
