The fact things are this close is amazingly disappointing in humanity as a whole.
On the one side, you have Trump who wants to be a dictator, actively hates anyone who isn't white and conervative, said he wants to kill his political opponents, tried to overthrow the government, had a 4 year presidency that was basically an episode of Jersey Shore everyday, and idolizes Putin/Hitler/etc.
And then there is Biden, who isn't super "exciting", old AF, and supports Israel too much for political reasons, but otherwise has done an alright job as president for 4 years.
How are the polls and the race even remotely this close? It's no wonder we can't do something like fix climate change as a society when people are this fracking stupid.
I have a sister-in-law that thinks I'm crazy every time I say that the systematic sabotage of education is part of the plan to dumb down America and turn people into uneducated Republican voters.
Now c'mon, does this statement really embrace reality? Aside from it's toxic passivity, it's not even true. Biden's brand of support for Israel has been absolutely toxic politically. He supports Israel because it is the hub of US power projection in the Middle East.
Exactly, it's not that he, personally, wants to slaughter millions of Arabs, it's just that that's the price we have to pay to preserve the American ability to slaughter millions of other Arabs in the future.
We regular people don’t see allot of whats going on in the background.
No we just see israel committing Genocide after Genocide and destabilizing the entire middle east.
Exactly. We don't see all the behind the scenes stuff for security reasons.
Don't get me wrong, I don't think any military/country is allowed to kill civilians to get to their enemies, ever. A country doesn't get to use an 'our enemies are in that population zone so we can destroy the population zone to get to them' excuse.
But there's a lot of history, security wise, going on between America and Israel, that is not so easily dismissed.
There's plenty of videos of the AIPAC lobby bribing American politicians. As for the rest, even folks like Kissinger said that israel just exists to protect israel. Not American interests in the middle east.
They're the most friendly nation in that area to us, even more so than the oil producing countries, and we rely on them for security for access to that oil.
It's politics in the sense that war is politics by another means, but that's not really what people associate with the word. If you want to take it that far, there isn't much that couldn't be called politics.
"Biden supports Israel because it gets the first lady horny". Well, that's just marriage politics!
What enemy does the US need Israel to help us face? Israel's strategic value to the US is largely as a base for US operations. Not that Israel doesn't have a strong military, but it's not that important for the US.
Yes, I agree that any other president would do the same. Biden, in fact, has pushed Israel harder than any other US president since WWII. Of course Israel is being more psychotic in this moment than it has ever been before, so I would expect us to be applying more pressure.
"Unexciting" is a paraphrasing of "Sleepy Joe", the Republican pet name for Biden that seems to highlight his absolute worst attribute.
Aside from his expected support of Israel which every single POTUS before him has upheld since the creation of Israel, what ways is Joe Biden the new devil?
