      It’s not that it’s “not a big deal.” It’s that he’s still the better of the two realistic possibilities. No Republican running for president will be harder on Israel than Biden is being (which is, admittedly, in no way hard), and they are all far worse on other metrics important to the left.

        But that’s another hand-waving deflection. When can we discuss the deeply problematic words and actions of our current president without establishment liberals popping out of wells to tell us he’s not as bad as Republicans? He’s still doing and supporting some unacceptably fucked up shit.

          We can do that once the threat of right wing extremism is not so imminent. We lashed out at Hillary and got Trump. Now women can’t get abortions without dying first. Corporations have their record profits and record tax breaks. We don’t want another four years of constant stress

            Lol. Do you really think that Trump became president because the Left critizized Clinton too much?
