The current president may well lose as Democratic support from key constituencies disintegrates due to his ongoing arming of Israel in the midst of its genocidal campaign against Palestinians in Gaza.

Netanyahu, though unpopular in Israel – even if not for pursuing genocide in Gaza – could put off elections for two years, a fact that motivated Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to call in a 14 March speech for “a new [Israeli] election once the war starts to wind down.”

The president’s recalcitrance is ripping the Democratic Party apart as young people, Arab Americans and Muslim Americans want nothing to do with a party they see arming Israel to destroy a destitute, refugee population.

Trump asserted in an interview posted online on 18 March that “any Jewish person that votes for Democrats hates their religion.” He added, “They hate everything about Israel, and they should be ashamed of themselves because Israel will be destroyed.”

    Who gives a shit what the lying fascist Trump says about anything?

    Why are you shilling for the guy with a plan to end birthright citizenship & deport Muslim ex-citizens from the USA starting in 2025?

    It’s weird considering two unrelated hypotheticals. Especially in light of how Netanyahu can postpone his own election? I guess the flip side is his parliament could potentially oust him prematurely as well.

    Still, what a stupid comparison.

    I’m old enough to (barely) remember Nixon (not nearly was old enough to vote), and I vomit in my mouth a little, whenever I recall he ever made it to vice* presidency, let alone president.
