    How do you think this situation would have been different if he would have lost the presidential election to Trump or if Trump had successfully overthrown democracy to seize control of America?

      Trump is one of the few presidents who’d have handled this worse than Biden. Notable the list of “better than Biden on Palestine affairs” includes figures such as Reagan and George Bush, so it’s not a high bar.

        That doesn’t really address the reality we were dealt. We aren’t discussing hypothetically who the best president would have been in this moment, I’m asking about the real 2 options that could have played out these last 4 years.

        Part of what electing Biden did was prevent the Trump response in these moments, I’m asking how this person thinks things would have been better if we hadn’t united behind Biden.

            Which is why I clarified the hypothetical I was asking about because that is not the reality we were dealing with.

            It’s weird you referenced your own comment in 3rd person. Did you forget to swap to your alt?
