Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said that the protests on college campuses over Israel’s war against Hamas could be President Biden’s Vietnam War, making the comparison to the anti-war protests in the …
So the question isn’t really about Trump at all at this point. Its about Biden. If Biden isn’t a viable candidate with this policy suite, then we need a different candidate.
I hate to be the bearer of shitty news but America’s election system is fundamentally broken. Personally, I’m living in Canada now and the parliamentary westminster system is worlds better than directly electing an executive… but in America the electoral system is what it is and we will be electing a new president in November.
If Biden and Trump still draw breath come the election introducing more candidates (even the DNC officially backing someone else) would just result in a split vote and losing the election so these two chucklefucks are our options - I’d love to vote for AoC or Bernie or hundreds of other people but they aren’t realistically participating in this election (and you can ask Bernie if you should vote for him as a write in if you want - he’ll explain pretty fucking clearly that you shouldn’t).
So, it’ll be Biden vs. Trump and, if we look at what Trump did last term he may have been unpredictable but he was consistently awful - so it’s like rolling a d20 and hoping to get over a 35… how awful he’ll be in any particular circumstance is unpredictable, but he’ll definitely be awful.
I also disagree strongly with your assessment on how pro-Isreal Trump is - he did a previously unthinkable action in moving our embassy to Jerusalem clearly signaling opposition to a two state solution and, again, he’s shouting with a megaphone right now about how much he wants Palestinians to stop existing. I think you should really look closer at Trump’s statements over the past six months - he’s demurred when it’s been politically advantageous to oppose democrats but he absolutely doesn’t give a shit about Palestinians.
