“I think what you’re reacting to is that, at the moment, Biden is an unpopular president seeking a second term while Trump is a popular figure inside his party who is winning primary races. I wouldn’t necessarily compare the two.”

Ah yes, all those OG Democrats with their humane and sensible Israel policy. As an old-school left wing person like you, I remember them well. Which ones were your favorites?
Y’all remember Kennedy and how he called for the end of the Vietnam War? Yeah, me neither.
Both parties have always had pretty shitty international policy, but at least one of those parties actually wants to govern and participate in democracy.
Yeeep
And one party has a leader who’s now telling the Israelis to stop killing Palestinians and starting to talk about consequences for them if they don’t. It’s not much; it’s very slight, it’s nothing that anybody in Gaza is gonna say “oh thank God he was rude to Netanyahu, our problems are over.” But it’s not something that usually happens, from leaders of either party.
