I can deny that - and I also agree that Biden didn't do enough. But to say the Biden administration was as bad as Trump's is crazy.
I don't know, but what if you presume he wanted to stop the killing of civilians in Gaza but he was stuck because of the current ME power balance, the politics of it, and the weight of the Isreali supporting voters, lobbyists and funding. I think, then, he would push back with public statements, threaten to reduce support, and use backchannel pressure. And it seems like that's what happened. Once Trump won, Isreal ramped up the attacks on civilians; so whatever Biden was doing, it helped somewhat.
Of course having a single individual coordinating thing cuts both ways. That person could also block things.

I've seen it work on motorbikes, I'm pretty sure it would work on a bike with a front light. I don't think people in cars tend to drop their high beams for pedestrians; it's more important to see the pedestrians, I would think.
Seems rather racist to let black coffee drinkers have an express line.
10-15 years before, obviously.
You can go do it in seconds with a command line command, or there are free utils you can install that make it just a click to turn on and off.
It's not possible to replace the democrats. It is possible to change them. It's slow and frustrating. But the trick is to reward the correct steps. When people just say 'they're the same' and refuse to vote for Dems because they're not good enough, not only does that leave us with maga in power, which is obviously worse, but it also makes the Dems not see any votes available by starting to move towards the left, so they go the other way.
Yeah, the democrats brush them off, but the republicans do what?
Because they take an adult cell and trick it into making it act like an embryo. But it's not an embryo and has some traits of an adult cell still. So the clone grows weird and is in some ways as old as the adult.

In their chart, it's pretty clear that the death rate in Gaza went up just as Trump took control. His rhetoric at the time was very pro-Isreal and encouraging them to eradicate the Palestinians, put up casinos, and all that. And then it slowed way down in Oct last year when the pseudo peace agreement brokered by the U.S. started. So credit where it's due, they managed to make some sort of improvement then. But all Presidents have tried to make peace deals in Isreal/Gaza - it's not like Biden wouldn't have likely done that too. And the U.S. has now allowed isreal to attack Lebanon. And of course the Iran attacks which then US didn't just support but was actively attacking. And of course Biden might have done the same, it's not totally off script, although a Biden or Harris admin probably wouldn't have fucked up the closing of the straight so badly. I don't think any president would have stopped Isreal from launching a debilitating strike against Hamas after the October attacks. And then Hezbollah joining in made them a legit target too. I don't think Biden did enough to pressure Isreal to safeguard civilians and to provide humanitarian aid. I'm not taking it easy on him. But the point is that it's still as clear as anything that Trump was worse for the people of Gaza than Harris would have been. And the steadfast refusal to accept that and vote accordingly is what what got Trump elected, and what will get maga elected again (and then fuck over more people of the world, like in Cuba for example).
