Check yourself for a fucking second. Do you understand how the US political system works?
Aid to Ukraine is being held back because Congress is controlled by a needle thin deadlock of Republican influence. That is something that can literally change overnight if one of the old fucks on the Republican side suddenly croaks. If an aid package for Ukraine ends up on Biden's desk tomorrow, it will be signed and passed, end of story. Slava Ukraini.
Under a Republican presidency, that is not going to happen, and no amount of "muh principles" will fix that for another 4 years. The Democrats can retake Congress, but Trump will never agree to sign an aid package for Ukraine even if a perfect bill were to pass through the political circus. But sure, maybe Trump will do a complete 180° and start treating Arabs like people so you can feel good about standing up to Israel for a moment, even if it means enabling the rise of fascism in the US.
Get your head out of the fucking clouds and look around at the world for a second, "boy" (fucking racist dog whistle that is, by the way).
Someone can still vote for Joe Biden in the general elections while still voting against him in the primaries while criticizing him, too.
Not all votes have to come with an ass kissing, you sycophantic goon.
That's not at all what was being suggested, you bellend.
