      yeah, because if you don’t like one position Biden holds, you should throw away your vote or vote for Trump… Even though Trump holds a much more extreme position regarding that one thing.

        I’m not a US voter, I am not saying people should not vot for Biden because of this. That said, the Israeli genocide is a wedge issue for Dems. I don’t think them expending political capital to help Bibi is good for the world and tgeir chances to get elected.

      They are not throwing it, sadly, they know that most will continue with the status quo.

      The Republican-lites, duopoly, know that the people are okay with being sheep herded into voting for them.

      They will continue to vote blue no matter who.

      The reds also do the same.
