Not voting for either and not advocating such, just wondering if this lib talking point holds up in reality. I know he recognized Jerusalem as the capital, but dem reads as far more committed overall to the zionist project to me.

    tl;dr - There is no better or worse when discussing American policy on Israel. We will head on the same trajectory regardless. No need to give Trump nor Biden any credit.

    Likely worse. His team is fully of anti-China, anti-Iran warhawks. I don’t think he’d approve of getting or keeping Americans away from Syria, Iran, Palestine and occupied Palestine, Taiwan, Japan, the Phillipines, etc.

    We all know the story. Yes, Democrats and bad. Yes, Republicans are undeniably worse in every way at every level.

    His team this time around will also be more competent. Maybe he will pivot to an “America First” agenda… then what? The open NED-type operations will be less noticable, others will be taken up by partners of the EU and other NATO members besides the US. Covert operations and the other dark, buried, illegal shit will boost exponentially.

    But look. Biden has his support base, he has his voters secured. So does Trump. They’re both Americans and both have already been president for 4 years each. We already know what has been happening and we know what is happening. The US will continue doing what its government and key capitalists already have been planning to do.
