On Tuesday, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) over comments she made advocating for Palestinians to be free.
They’re there to sheepdog the voters into believing progressive candidates a valued part of the democratic party despite the fact that more than most of the good things progressives have accomplished are entirely outside of the chambers of congress. The democrats refuse to work with progressives unless they are forced too, like that time the progressives asked Pelosi to consider stock trading bans and she denied them until it was clear that was horrible PR, then decided to around to vocally supporting it later, once the political will to pass the bill was dying down. Progressives are there for show.
I’m willing to bet that he’d navigate these waters just fine if Trump was president.
That’s what Trump does. He sharpens the contradictions and makes it obvious to everyone. Biden does everything possible to muddy the waters and make the issue seem more complicated than it actually is, but Trump never bothers masking his intentions like that.
Maybe so. Though the reality isn’t that Trump is president.
And I am not sure anyone knows for sure how a 2nd term Trump would be acting right now. I mean hell, Trump kind of criticized Israel and said Hezbollah was making a smart move recently, so hey, wild card factor would be without much masking.
Not sure I’d have much expection for the geriatric leaders regardless of president, still.

Yeah, Bernie is demonstrating this by refusing to endorse a ceasefire.
That’s not even remotely accurate and you know it lol
Where’s the lie?
I think he endorsed a ceasefire but then immediately expressed he didn’t think Hamas would respect a ceasefire.
So one step forward, one step back. Not much better. Not great. But I dont expect the over 70 crowd to navigate these waters very well.
Fetterman is the far more disappointing Senator on this topic.

I’m almost certain Trump criticized Netanyahu because Biden supports him lol
You know that is plausible, but it could also be Trump has a personal issue with Netanyahu, which also tracks for him, if not more so.
