    I said politically it’s complicated. I’m talking about political strategy, election strategy. That sort of thing. The point being that a pragmatic argument, which is valid in my opinion even if I disagree with it, is “Trump will be objectively worse so I have to vote against him.” For politicians it’s “ speaking out to forcefully against Israel could cost us the election which would make things even worse for the Palestinians.” Assuming their motivations are even altruistic, but either way the concern is losing the White House to Trump.
