And that is why she isn't a serious or viable candidate.
And she never has been.
Oh, she isn't a serious or viable candidate for way more than that, not least of which is the fact that she's a Russian asset.
No, he can't, because Bibi doesn't give two shits what Biden or the Americans think.
Also because he can't withhold any economic/military aid that Congress has approved to be sent.
Bibi relies on Biden to veto any United Nations action against Israel.
Bibi couldn’t do what he’s doing if he didn’t know Biden is on his side.
I wish there was a simulator that we could put people in. It’d be good for Lemmy argument participants, too.
Like Jill Stein puts on the helmet, gets on the phone with simulated-Netanyahu, he laughs in her face and says okay we can wait until November, suits me fine. She cuts off weapons, congress explodes, it’s all over the news, some Israeli soldier talking about how his unit got decimated because they didn’t have the right stuff (all horseshit of course), Biden’s polling drops 5 points, Stein hits the button to switch the nominee to Kamala Harris, the polling drops even more, congress overrides Biden and sends weapons anyway, Trump wins the election with 350 electoral votes and sends Israel 20 strategic bombers and a carpet-bombing configuration of munitions with a note that says “have fun ❤️”, simulation ends. 0 points
(I’m not trying to give Biden a free pass on support for Israel. I think regime change and support for the ICC would be a good way to go; we can defend our “ally” (for some fuckin reason) while still prosecuting the members of that ally’s government who are killing children. I’m just pointing out that, of course, Stein’s argument here is laughably naive.)
