Netanyahu wants Trump to be elected, so to counter that, Biden is staking out the position of sending Israel weapons and taking its side on the international stage? And that will make Netanyahu less interested in Trump being elected? Or it will increase Biden's domestic support because his base is overwhelmingly in favor of a ceasefire?

Does Twitter make you stupid or is it just where stupid people go?

The short version of lib pundit brain: Trump is the worst thing in the world. So even if you don't like Biden - ya gotta be pro-Biden and then vote for him. Those are the rules!

---

Mystal avoids discussing the genocide and ethnic cleansing happening right now and he wants to pretend that dem base desire for a ceasefire can be pushed away because Orange Man Bad. Also - these topics make Biden look bad. Mystal makes the case that Biden doing an unspecified "something" to reign in Israel. Netanyahu wants Trump to be president again. Therefore - if you want the US to do more of this unspecified "something" to reign in Israel - you must be pro-Biden.

It's crazy but that's what he's arguing. My related comment in this thread - https://hexbear.net/comment/4622637

Classic always-works strategy of democrats running further to the right to outflank republicans. Famously worked out well.

Truman nuking Japan, instigating Korean War, bringing the world to first brink of nuclear war by allowing his generals to run wild in the pacific threatening China constantly. Domestically cracking down on post-war unions which had taken a beating as to not undermine the WWII production efforts. Not continuing FDRs popular and successful New Deal type reforms and just going fully into anti-communist fervor.

Kennedy staking out the anti-communist position against Nixon of all people. Outflanking republicans so hard that it led to botched attack on Cuba and nuclear missile crisis.

LBJ with Vietnam

Carter introducing the country to neoliberal austerity bullshit and basically telling Americans to "be realistic" with visions of possible futures.

Bill Clinton being basically Reagan's 4th and 5th terms just cranking the neoliberalism dial up

Got bored in there but whatever. Point is liberals/democrats are cucks and also just stupid. Unless their goal is to continue failed policies and continue doing the Republican agenda, which I mean... even if not their goal it happened anyway. Is still happening like look at that Gestapo ass border bill proposed by a fucking democrat President. Insane, dogshit country.
