TropicalDingdong,

but these two are clearly not equally shitty.

Yeah idk. Trump did those things, but he’s also called on Israel for restraint. Honestly, he might even pull support because Bibi slighted him at one point in the past and he took that personally.

Trump is a D20. You really don’t know what you are going to get. Biden is 4 D6’s. Like regardless of how your roll, you know his support is going to be pretty unwavering. He’s the most pro-Israeli politician, basically ever. More so than Trump.

This is my point regarding the apologetics. Most people are projecting a kindness or a softening of Bidens policies that simply aren’t’ there. Biden’ isn’t the candidate they pretend him to be. And its costing Biden the election, so the apologetics are working against Biden.

There are thresholds that if Bidens support drops below, he steps out of the race. Shoring up a candidate who has no path to 270 is bad strategy, and right now, Biden has no path to 270. Its also becoming increasingly clear that he’s not going to shift on policy. He’ll do some rhetoric, but he’s not going to change policy. He needs to 180 on Gaza to get Michigan and Wisconsin and these are “must wins” without which he CAN NOT win the white house. Like its actually not possible.

So the question isn’t really about Trump at all at this point. Its about Biden. If Biden isn’t a viable candidate with this policy suite, then we need a different candidate. This entire thing is shaping up identically to 2016 where the idiots just keep jabbering on about Hillary being the best option when she actually wasn’t, instead of being willing to move their support to a more viable candidate. The people insisting that you had to support Hillary were the ones that cost us that election.
