Trump was the best thing for leftists in the U.S. because it got a bunch of on-the-fence libs to wake up and smell the coffee in a way that never happened in my lifetime, even under Bush.
Now a lot of those libs have gone back to sleep with Biden, but Biden is basically playing the Obama playbook with only a tenth of the charisma and it isn't working. Even my dyed-in-the-wool Democrat mother just recently admitted to me that she doesn't see much of a difference between Biden and Trump politically but she can't stand Trump (which is fair, she doesn't find him as tragically comedic as I do). I told her to vote however she wants, cause it genuinely doesn't matter, but if she wants to signal displeasure she should vote third party.
To the OP's point, Trump would be just as bad, if not worse than Biden on Israel. But that is because those decisions are not made by the president, we don't actually get to vote on policy in this country.
Hot damn, I think ye've nailed this down...
