Idiots in this thread acting like we have to vote straight ticket. It’s possible for Biden to lose due to his idiotic pro-genocide position (among myriad other failures, and an utter lack of ability to tout his successes), and for democrats to win the rest of the races. That would send a strong message to the DNC to not foist garbage candidates upon us.

Yes because I'm sure Trump won't make the genocide even worse. /s

I can't think of any situation that Trump won't make worse.

And what if Trump is busy getting shanked in prison instead of infesting the White House? Dare we dream of a leader who isn’t one of these two imbeciles?

There's two things which are the case:

  • No potential Republican candidate is going to have a more critical policy of Israel than Biden.

  • Primaries hurt incumbents, and incumbents have an observed electoral advantage.

We need to not only win, but win by the largest margins possible. We need to crush Republicans so their fascist movement dies. We can't leave any advantage on the table unused.

Biden has been surprisingly supportive of progressive policies and bills -- Inflation Reduction Act, American Rescue Plan, the infrastructure bill. And that's because the progressive wing of the party has gained substantial power. It isn't just presidency -- Biden will do what the majority of Democrats want. We need to get more progressives in Congress too.

Oh yes because giving Cheetolini control of the military again will TOTALLY help anything going on in Israel and Palestine right now.

We'll go from Biden trying tepidly to talk Bibi into not blitzing Gaza to Trump shouting DIBS and rushing in to do it first so he can stick it to the Jews for taking Ivanka off the table.
